For the membership as a whole, we also work together to be the best we can at our day jobs too, whether it’s working extra hard on that hotel proposal for a new Planner we met at the last MPI event or advocating for a new vendor contact to our leadership team for our next meeting. We are also part of a bigger picture within MPI Global. It’s a blessing to be a part of this global community and this network of chapters. One of my favorite experiences during my time as President has been connecting with other chapters to learn how they do things in their world. 6 | May/June 2017 MPI Agenda MPI Agenda May/June 2017 | 7 BOARD MEMBER PROFILE Continuation.

Welcome to Milwaukee, whose name means both the ‘Good Land’ and a ‘Gathering Place’. Walking around the streets of Milwaukee, we hope you see how its geographical landscape informs the stories told about its complex history. While Milwaukee eagerly look towards the future, preparing to welcome politicians and activists to the city for the upcoming Democratic National Convention this summer, there is a need to take a pause and notice how Milwaukee became the city it is today. We, the local arrangements committee, invite you to take stock of the stories that the city tells. Notice, which ones are made visible, audible, or present? And ask yourself, which stories are not as noticeable? Who tells these stories? And where do the visible and invisible stories converge in history and in the city where we now gather to meet? Milwaukee’s History Geographically, Milwaukee is a city connected by a series of three rivers — the Milwaukee, the Menomonee, and the Kinnickinnic.
