I am a 25+ year member of MPI and proud to call the MPI Greater Orlando Chapter my home. I also volunteered to help the broader MPI effort in international board and committee roles while tending to my day job growing renowned international hospitality brands. <br /><br />Know that I bring that same passion to ensuring this foundation serves today and tomorrow’s members. <br /><br />I encourage you to take stock of your own impact. Volunteer at local chapters, regional events, represent your association and, please, donate to this foundation!<br /><br />Do something. Make your legacy matter in an industry that is one of the top 10 economic drivers in our world! </p></div> </div> <div > <div class="sfContentBlock sf-Long-text" ><span data-sfref="[images]1b8be527-90c6-6615-9a9b-ff0100288468" class="sf-Image-wrapper"><img src="/images/librariesprovider80/default-album/kksig.png?sfvrsn=7d4d835a_0" alt="Kevin Kirby" title="Kevin Kirby" data-displaymode="Original" /></span> <p>Kevin Kirby<br />Executive Director of MPI Foundation<br /><a href="mailto:kkirby@mpi.org">kkirby@mpi.org</a></p></div> </div> <div > <div class="sfContentBlock sf-Long-text" ><p> </p><p> </p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer> <div class="row footer-stripe"> <div class="col-xs-12"> <div class="footer-container"> <div class="footer-section-1"> <div class="footer-logo-container"><img class="img-responsive" src="/Resources/images/mpi-foundation-blue-tm.png"></div> <ul class="footer-social"> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheMPIFoundation" target="_blank"><span class="icon-facebook2"></span></a></li> </ul> <div class="footer-copyright"> <br /> Phone Toll Free: <a href="tel:8663182743">866-318-2743</a><br /> Member Services: <a href="tel:9727023030">972-702-3030</a><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">© 2024 Meeting Professionals International, <span class="nobr">All Rights Reserved.</span></span><br /> <a style="color: rgba(74,74,74,.6); font-size: xx-small;" href="https://www.mpi.org/about/privacy">Privacy Policy</a> | <a style="color: rgba(74,74,74,.6); font-size: xx-small;" href="https://www.mpi.org/about/terms">Terms of Service</a> </div> </div> <div class="footer-section-2"> <div class="footer-link-set"> <h5>Who We Are</h5> <ul> <li><a href="/foundation/who-we-are/about-the-mpi-foundation">About The MPI Foundation</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/who-we-are/meet-kevin-kirby">Meet Kevin Kirby</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/who-we-are/board-of-trustees">Global Board of Trustees</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/who-we-are/contributors">Contributors</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/who-we-are/contact-us">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-link-set"> <h5>Need Help?</h5> <ul> <li><a href="/foundation/get-help/scholarships">Scholarships</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/get-help/chapter-grants">Chapter Grants</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/get-help/industry-grants">Industry Grants</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-link-set"> <h5>Events & Auctions</h5> <ul> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-link-set"> <h5>How to Give</h5> <ul> <li><a href="/foundation/how-to-give/donate">Donate</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/how-to-give/chapter-giving">Chapter Giving</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/how-to-give/corporate-dmo-giving">Corporate/DMO Giving</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/how-to-give/where-do-donations-go">Where Do Donations Go?</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/how-to-give/40for40">MPI Foundation 40 for 40</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-link-set"> <h5>Forever Fund</h5> <ul> <li><a href="/foundation/forever-fund/what-is-the-forever-fund">What Is the Forever Fund?</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/forever-fund/mpifoundation-society">1972 Society</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/forever-fund/legacy-leader-endowment">Legacy Leader Endowment</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-link-set"> <h5>Foundation Stories</h5> <ul> <li><a href="/foundation/foundation-stories/read-foundation-stories">Read Foundation Stories</a></li> <li><a href="/foundation/foundation-stories/tell-your-story">Tell Your Story</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="footer-link-set"> <h5>DONATE</h5> <ul> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer><script type="application/json" id="PersonalizationTracker"> {"IsPagePersonalizationTarget":false,"IsUrlPersonalizationTarget":false,"PageId":"ee78e527-90c6-6615-9a9b-ff0100288468"} </script><script type="text/javascript" src="/WebResource.axd?d=NjxTqR2bqTw1rewxxlkHPg43DSXSAiY9YMPFfN-gIchjSEfR1NCo5IDECPHVjyxMdsuHrwuL0Y7JZ8CPh5NUyE-GUpWQUa6M10edQejZWdLKEgL_8usEGwN1d_9_SK02Ed-Ny2nvZUiay9aLqkKszPCycqanKz2d6aLP4vs_PoKppCF0ymwr_ozJMtfaSV7ILcX4_W1x7FHeu_FAjtrcOesiZf9wqm5s2uIR2GLLhlU1&t=638543384440000000"> </script> </div> </div>  <script src="https://cookie-script.com/s/01a32b06c73546f3f2389ff9afb3445f.js" integrity="sha384-JbOdLoWBO92mTzN2FlAHY/aCHMdUFu/ac3nwsPjLJy3BzDBBo0D5HcxL//nYgSnL" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>  </body> </html>
