Committee responsibilities and goals

The Hospitality Committee concentrates on new members and first time attendees at each meeting. Each new member and first timer is assigned a Hospitality Buddy. The Buddy will contact them prior to the meeting to invite them to the New Member Orientation and the New Member Reception, and answer any questions they may have. During the meeting, Buddies will spend time with their assigned new member and introduce them to the organization and existing MPI-CC members. The committee also assists the MPI-CC staff in registering and welcoming all members and guests.
