Media Stage hosts MPI South Florida Board of Directors

The Media Stage office was home to MPI’s local South Florida chapter for two days of meetings for their Board of Directors. We were the sponsor host for the mid-year retreat, during which the board meets to review budgets, business plans, SOPs and departmental workflow and communication.

A facilitator from MPI Global came in to lead the meetings and get things kicked off with some fun ice-breaker and team-bonding activities. After that, it was time to get down to business making sure the board was on track with the goals they set during their annual retreat back in September.

Larry Blocker and Gabby Kiger both serve on the MPI South Florida Board of Directors as VP of Finance and VP of Marketing & Communications, respectively. Larry has been on the board for two years and Gabby has held her position for three full terms. Patrick Brochu also dedicates his time to a leadership role on the MPI Global team.

Many of our industry peers, clients and colleagues are also active on the board, so it’s great to spend time outside of a show setting to network and share ideas. One of the most effective takeaways from the retreat was the interdepartmental “speed dating,” during which each group meets with all the others one by one to address pain points, support and their needs looking ahead to close out the fiscal year.

We were very excited to host this event and are grateful to be able to continue supporting MPI’s local chapter. MPI South Florida hosts one event per month, be it a networking event or an educational event, and we are active attendees at those as well!
