Board of Directors Support
For every MPI event, project, educational experience, venue attended, networking opportunity, newsletter, website, committee experience, there is a great team working hard to bring you the best MPI experience you can have. The dedication needed and the ability these people show to be able to donate their time and energy to bring you unforgettable experiences is extraordinary. That wouldn’t be possible without the help and support of the companies they work for. Luckily, each company has been extremely supportive and has allowed them the time to do what they need to do to make MPI-GOA the best organization in the industry. Here is a special thanks to all those companies that make our team of Board members the best they can be!
