MPIOC Student Program

Sponsored by Marie Botvinick, CMP, CMM

Program Description and Call for Nominees
The Meeting Professionals International Orange County Chapter (MPIOC) is delighted to offer the MPIOC Student Program, sponsored by Marie Botvinick, CMP, CMM, D’or Solutions.  This is an honorary program exclusively for the MPI Orange County Chapter.

Purpose
The MPIOC Student Program, sponsored by Marie Botvinick, CMP, CMM, D’or Solutions, is an outreach initiative of MPIOC to encourage the next generation of meeting professionals to be involved with MPIOC.  We believe that the result will be of significant mutual benefit, with the Chapter demonstrating MPI’s value to those not familiar with the Association, and with the Students assisting MPI, both at the Chapter and International levels, to be more responsive to their needs and the student community.
