Senior Planner Circle of Excellence
Mission Statement: To provide an opportunity to share best practices with your peers.
Are you a senior meeting planner with at least seven years of experience working for a corporation, association or yourself as an independent meeting planner? If so, you will be interested in joining this group to collaborate, benchmark and obtain education for career growth opportunities from a network of extensive expertise.
All senior planners are welcome to attend the Senior Planner Circle of Excellence. However, to be an official Minnesota Chapter SPCOE, you need to have been in the industry for seven years or more. See the senior planner criteria for details.
The SPCOE group meets four times a year (September, November, February, and April): once in person prior to an MPI meeting; once in person at a supplier visit; and twice via webinars. The meetings are free to attend and have three main components: content, interaction, and a takeaway.
If you have any questions or would like to request more information on the MPI MN Senior Planner Circle of Excellence, contact Kathleen Haase at kathleen.haase@bsci.com.
