Our Principles of Professionalism is our professional code of ethics. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Montserrat;font-size:medium;line-height:25px;">The governing body of MPI is the International Board of Directors (IBOD). The IBOD reviews and approves the strategic plans developed by MPI Global’s executive leadership team and staff, who are headquartered in Dallas, Texas. MPI Global’s Chapter Operations Team, which works in remote offices around the world, oversees all elements of chapter operations, from chapter leadership training to new chapter development. When you’re ready to make the commitment to become a chapter champion, they will mentor you through the process and present your application to the IBOD. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Montserrat;font-size:medium;line-height:25px;">MPI clubs and chapters are similar in that each exist to fulfill the global MPI mission and vision, must meet globally mandated minimum standards, abide by local legal and tax requirements, are run by teams of volunteers, and must be incorporated as a nonprofit/charitable association. However, there are some differences. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Montserrat;font-size:medium;line-height:25px;">The biggest difference is the number of members required to apply for club versus chapter charters and the structural requirements. Once you have a minimum of 20 members and a plan on how to get to 40 members, you can apply for club recognition. Clubs have less governance requirements than chapters and can operate without bylaws and with a smaller leadership team. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Montserrat;font-size:medium;line-height:25px;">To be recognized as a chapter, you must have a minimum of 40 enrolled members and the potential to get to 100 members before you can submit to the IBOD for recognition. Chapters operate with bylaws and a full board of directors. They have more reporting requirements than clubs, but they also benefit from additional MPI Global support. Because approved MPI chapters (and clubs, for a limited period) receive a portion of membership dues as a rebate, there is a financial upside to continuing to grow membership. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:Montserrat;font-size:medium;line-height:25px;">Prior to applying for club or chapter charters, make sure that you, members of your leadership team and anyone that you’d like to count as a prospective member of your club/chapter-in-formation are current members of MPI. You should strive for at least 50 percent of the members on your list to belong to the “Planner” category. Two-thirds of your members and fellow leaders should reside in your proposed geographic club/chapter area.
