We love seeing our MPI Washington State Chapter community show up and spend valuable time together!

Last week’s Planner Roundtable & Strictly Social was a wonderful opportunity for our members to connect, exchange ideas, strengthen relationships, and simply enjoy being together. These moments of connection are such an important part of what makes our MPI WSC community special.

We also couldn’t have brought the event together without the support of our incredible sponsors and event partners:
CME Experience / Chloe Mosey Events —
Kitsap Conference Center —
Miranda Quade Photography —
DJ Z Entertainment —
Kitsap Chair Covers —
Maddy’s Old Town Flowers —
Catie’s Creations — Catie’s Creations

Thank you to our partners for supporting MPI WSC and to every member who joined us. We’re grateful for this community and always look forward to opportunities to bring everyone together!

Meet Tanya Anderson, Vice President at FUSION Performance Group and VP, Communications for MPI WSC!

For Tanya, being part of the MPI WSC Board is all about the people. She loves working alongside others who care about our industry and creating opportunities for members to connect, learn, and feel welcome. As VP, Communications, she gets to help tell those stories, celebrate our community, and make it easier for people to get involved.

And when she’s not connecting our MPI WSC community, she’s finding a new rhythm! She recently started taking drum lessons, proving it’s never too late to try something new.

We’re grateful to have Tanya’s passion for people, connection, and community on the MPI WSC Board!

Please join us in welcoming Crystal Jackson, Resort Sales Manager at Little Creek Casino Resort, to MPI Washington State Chapter!

Crystal is looking forward to networking and connecting with others in the meetings and events industry. One of her favorite industry memories was being part of a host hotel for the 2015 U.S. Open, where she had the opportunity to take a private tour of Chambers Bay while helping host Open vendors and VIP clients.

Outside of work, Crystal is a live music ju**ie who loves concerts of all sizes—especially country music! And when she’s not at a show, you might find her watching a murder documentary or anything true crime.

We’re excited to have Crystal as part of the MPI WSC community. Welcome to the chapter, Crystal!
