February is filled with many sports, celebrations and holidays from honoring Black History Month to Super Bowl Sunday, Galentine’s Day, Groundhog Day and more, showcasing a rich and diverse range of events.
As Business Event Strategists and Suppliers, we have the opportunity to foster a culture of belonging within our Chapter and organizations, while enhancing the attendee experience at the meetings and events we plan or book. By being mindful of the unique backgrounds, perspectives, and needs of attendees, we drive positive change within the groups we serve. This is one example of how the meetings industry creates a meaningful impact on the global community, extending beyond the events themselves.
As a Chapter, we are the professional regional home for the meetings community, embracing uniqueness, welcoming all backgrounds and individual needs, and valuing the distinct perspectives and experiences each person contributes. The Chapter is proud to have volunteer leaders actively serving on six committees: Awards, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Marketing, Membership Engagement, Professional Development and Sponsorship/Industry Relations. The DEI committee continues to be active, and as a Chapter, we will keep pushing forward in fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment within the greater Midwest hospitality community.
Key highlights within this months newsletter include:
Here’s hoping Punxsutawney Phil doesn’t see his shadow and Spring arrives soon. Until then, stay warm!
