OChapter Exchange
Program
On a cold blustery day in March, the MPI
Sunbelt Chapter blew into Chicago bringing
sunshine and great ideas to share with the
MPI Chicago Chapter. During a full day of
idea exchange, Sunbelt Chapter representatives
met at the office of the Krisam Group,
with various board members from the Chicago
Chapter to create strategic goals for
the 2008 – 2009 year
What is the Chapter Exchange Program?
The Chapter Exchange Program was conceived
in order to assist chapters through
learning successful practices from their
peers. It has developed to allow chapters
to collaborate on new solutions for a new
chapter business model. The inherent concepts
include:
• Evolution and expansion are created
from experimentation
• Re-imagination of the community of
learning
• Building a community of peers
• Elevating the conversation through
diversity

Our chapter was matched with the Sunbelt
Chapter by the relevance of our strengths
and opportunities for learning. The exchange
is one of equals where both parties
are encouraged to contribute to the community
of learning and building a community
of peers.
