MPINCC's Annual Conference Experience - Thank you!

I'm at a loss for words at the conclusion of this year's Annual Conference Experience by @mpi.ncc that took place this last week at Convene in #SanFrancisco
​
From starting off as VP of Education this program year, to ending with @dima.ghawi 's impactful shattering of the vases that made me tear up a bit, it's been quite the Experience and ride with my fellow committee peers and board members.

I wish I had two clones to have been able to see all the education I wanted to and take part in all the fun activations that there didn't seem to be enough time for, but I love seeing everyone enjoy themselves and leave with smiles.

A quote from me on CSI DMC's newsletter:
“Mental wellness affects us all in different degrees at various times. With the nature of our industry putting continuous pressure on our overall well-being, partnered with our role of ‘always needing a smile on our face’, it can come with great difficulty to discuss our needs and experiences with mental wellness openly. The panel by MPINCC brought up the topic of holistic health by chapter leaders who shared their own stories and struggles, which opened the door for transparent discussion to inform, support, and reduce stigma. Our mental and overall well-being is a crucially important topic that I'm passionate about in our industry and I'm thankful to have the opportunity to give more awareness to this issue for us all to find ways to stay healthy holistically and thrive. “

Extra special thanks to Janice Litvin who led the panel on mental wellness awareness in our industry and served as ACE Education Co-Chair, Vivian Perez, CMP Education Chair, and the rest of our amazing committee including Sue Meylan, CMP Bonnie Hoag, MBA Christa J. Guglielmelli, CMP, CWP, CITP Jody Brandes, HMCC, CMP-Fellow, CMM Myra Howay Melanie Lucero Soskita Green, HMCC Susan Piel, CMP Fellow, CMM, HMCC Donna Rogers CIS, SEPC, & Patricia Gums

Deep gratitude for all the amazing speakers including Michael Dominguez, FASAE, CHSE for the opening general session Connecting the Dots, Frank King the Mental Health Comedian, Jim Spellos and his mind-blowing AI, Scott Beck with SF Travel & Zeke Ramsell , David T. Stevens®, PMED , my fellow panelists Andrew Verducci and Patrick McMichael, CSEP who did so much more, and many other speakers who gave everyone such enriching content throughout the program.

Thank you, and I'm already looking forward to next year after some much needed rest!
