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 Buddies will contact the new members and first-timers prior to the meeting to invite them to the New Member Orientation and answers any questions they may have. During the chapter meeting, Buddies will spend time with their assigned new members and introduce them to the existing MPI-CC members. The committee also assists the MPI-CC staff in registering and welcoming all members and guests.
