Committee responsibilities and goals:

Education Committee

The Education Committee is responsible for planning, scheduling and implementing the education sessions for each bi-monthly meeting. The Education Committee selects the topics and speakers for the main education sessions. The goals of the Education Committee include increasing attendance at each meeting and ensuring the speakers meet the members’ needs as measured by the post-meeting survey scores.

Professional Certification Committee

The Professional Certification Committee presents targeted educational programs aimed at CMP topics during CMP Retention and Informational Sessions. The committee’s goal is to increase the number of chapter members studying for and attaining the CMP, CMM, or CHME certifications. We form study groups and retreats, and post information about the certification opportunities. Click here.

Voron Lecture Series Committee

The Voron Lecture Series Committee was formed to help determine how monies donated as a tribute to Catherine L. Voron, CMP, CMM, would be used by MPI-CC. Contributions to this memorial lecture series on ethics and professionalism supports at least one educational session per year at a chapter meeting. This committee researches and recommends lecturers to the Education Committee.
