Having just attended my first ever IoD/Institute of Directors in New Zealand Conference in Ōtautahi Christchurch, at the impressive Te Pae Convention Centre - I naturally have a lot of learnings bouncing around in my head. Key for me was that more young and future governance &/or leaders should be exposed to conferences like this. If only I knew then what I know now….what an opportunity for diversity & succession right there! How to open doors that have been late to my own plate - is an exciting opportunity for our up&comers! From the hugely informative presentation by Dr Reuben Abraham, with some key opportunity-based messages for NZ & our economy. To appreciation of the all important CEO/Chair relationship as presented by Carrie Hurihanganui & Patrick Strange from Auckland Airport cemented my belief that this relationship is key for a well functioning board - helping ensure that strategy is understood & executed as it flows from board to management and back again. There is no doubt that I was completely enthralled by the information presented by Maryanne Garry - ‘most laughs award’ while presenting some important factual Information about perceived ability to remember everything you do not hear or think you are capable of in the boardroom. H&S was key and it was appreciated that the presenters steered the conversation away from an extreme, high risk, highly specific event and to redirect learnings into practical & thought provoking lessons for all businesses - even our smallest business could learn from. Loved the top 10 tips for taking the bored out of the boardroom and the opportunity to explore the opposite. A creative approach I appreciated and resonated with! So much more I could add! What an opportunity to expand my learnings.

I feel humbled, shocked, excited, proud, all the above, as Meeting Professionals International awarded MPI Tampa Bay Area Chapter today with 'Top Performing Chapter', acknowledging my leadership of the Board of Directors and team over the past year and a half. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience planning events with the region’s top hospitality players at the coolest venues, designing countless marketing campaigns, and leading such an amazing group of talented individuals. I took over as president-elect in 2021, then chapter president in 2022 in unprecedented times. The world, and the hospitality industry especially, was still recovering from the pandemic. Our volunteer pool dwindled like many other associations. It was the challenge of a lifetime to rebuild the chapter—from creating a new culture to re-engaging our members, while trying to introduce new initiatives...I'm so thankful for the Board of Directors and our amazing chapter administrator that I had the privilege of leading during the 2022-2023 year (with 6 additional months extended to my term). The future of the chapter is bright under the 2023-2024 MPI Tampa Bay Board of Directors. The lean, pandemic-era leadership from 2020-2023 kept it afloat to ensure the next generation can keep it roaring back stronger than ever. We successfully re-engaged our members, launched new initiatives, highlighted new properties in the Tampa Bay region, offered CEU accredited programs on topics such as the State of the Travel Industry 2023, Networking, Event Risk Management, Generations in the Workforce, #DigitalMarketing Trends, #EventSustainability in the Post-Pandemic Era, Inclusive & Accessible Events, and so much more. I couldn't imagine a better way to close out my term as president of MPI Tampa Bay 2022-2023. Cheers! 🥂 #thankful #MeetingsMeanBusiness #MPI #Leadership #Community #TopPerformingChapter
