30. Having Angie Duncan give me the President's Award...it is not the award that meant the most, but that a dear, dear friend thought I was worthy to receive it! IMPI has meant a lot to me over the years and I continue to be committed to our state initatives! - Amanda Cecil, IUPUI
31. My MPI moment(s)- I'm proud to serve on the board as Director of Monthly Programs and my goal is to give our members the best possible ROI at the monthly luncheons. It makes every moment worth while every time I hear a member say how great the speaker, topic, networking, venue, food, etc was! -Jamie Flemington, Sheraton Indianapolis City Centre
32. I treasure many, many IMPI moments because those moments nurtured valuable, lifelong relationships both business and personal. I have been a proud MPI member since 1996! Happy 40th MPI! -Rebecca Moreland Green, The Moreland Group
33. My IMPI Moment(s): I love that I have the opportunity to serve our members by working on your board of directors as the Director Leadership Development. - Christine Robinett, Bellterra Hotel & Casino
34. My most memorable moment with IMPI was winning Meeting Planner of the Year last year- I never dreamed I would be considered, let alone win, such an honorable award! IMPI has provided me with very valuble friendships and education to enhance personal and professional growth. - Stephanie Higgins,LMV Consulting
35. It is hard to come up with one defining IMPI Moment from my membership in the Indiana Chapter. I can't possibly quantify the relationships and friendships that I have forged over the past seven years! If I had to pick one specific event though, it would probably be when I obtained my CMP through a scholarship from IMPI! - Emilie Perkins, Leading Age Indiana
36-37. My IMPI Moment (s): When I was awarded the "Rising Star" while being on the Education Committee. My second memory is being awarded the "Planner of the Year" in 2009. I was absolutely shocked and thrilled, especially after only a year on the planning side. So greatful to be apart of the IMPI family!- Bridget Robinson, The American Legion National Headquarters
38. My favorite IMPI moment was receiving Rookie of the Year for 2008-2009. Made me realize in that moment that I was making an impact in our chapter and was being recognized for my passion! - Natasha Croy, JW Marriott Indianapolis
39. One of my favorite IMPI moments was through the community outreach committee. We volunteered and planted trees as a city beautifcation project. This was both rewording and amazingly fun, a great chance to be silly and get to know other members. A great IMPI moment! - Amanda Fishburn, Ignition DG. Ltd
40. My IMPI Moment: I was honored to receive the Young Professional of the Year award in 2011. I have worked for/with several IMPI members throughout the past few years and was delighted that they wanted to recognize me and my efforts. It hasn't been easy starting my career in this economy and IMPI has helped me immensely. - Maria Meschi, IUPUI
