At Your Event Solutions (YES), we’re proud to recognize the dedication and passion that drives our team members to go above and beyond, not just in their professional roles, but in their broader contributions to the events industry. Last month, our very own Senior Sourcing Manager, Jen Mell, CMP, demonstrated her commitment by serving as emcee at the annual awards gala for the Meeting Professionals International (MPI) – Wisconsin Chapter. Teaming up with fellow past Chapter President, Carmen Smalley, CMP, CHE, Jen celebrated the outstanding contributions of volunteers who power the organization.
Jen’s involvement with MPI spans 14 years, with multiple terms on the Board of Directors. Her continued dedication highlights how crucial advocacy and professional development are in the ever-evolving world of corporate meetings and events. Through volunteering, Jen exemplifies YES’s belief in nurturing industry expertise, enhancing leadership skills, and building a stronger, more connected events community.
Notably, Jen leverages her MPI experiences to develop valuable skills, like public speaking. Taking on the challenge of emceeing was a testament to her willingness to face her nerves head-on and grow both personally and professionally. It’s a reminder that organizations like MPI not only foster networking and education but are vital spaces for skill development and confidence-building.
At YES, we support our team members in engaging with the broader industry to better serve our clients. By staying at the forefront of trends and cultivating professional growth, our team channels these experiences back into delivering exceptional service and insight for every large-scale event we manage. Jen’s involvement with MPI embodies this approach, reinforcing our belief that community engagement leads to stronger leadership and a better understanding of industry needs.
