Meeting Professionals International (MPI) President and CEO Bruce MacMillan has elected not to renew his current employment agreement, which ends on 30 June 2012.
Under MacMillan’s leadership,
the MPI team modernised and globalised its membership and chapter models,
reinvented its relationship with the MPI Foundation to support the development
of authoritative content, redesigned live events and online experiences and
introduced a Global Training practice with a portfolio of certifications and
relevant training.
“Bruce has been a visionary catalyst, guiding the organisation through a time of intense economic challenges, all while helping to bring to life MPI’s strategic plans for robust growth and innovative, rich content and programmes,” said Sebastien Tondeur, MPI
International Chairman and CEO of MCI Group Holding SA. “We are thankful for his many years of dedicated service both as CEO and as a member volunteer. He is leaving MPI well positioned for the future.”
Tondeur is appointing a CEO
search committee to be chaired by Chairman-elect Kevin Hinton, Executive Vice President for Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI). Hinton will serve as an ex officio member of the search committee. The identity of the other search committee members will remain confidential until the new CEO is named to protect the integrity of the search process. The committee will be representative of MPI’s diverse membership.
MPI COO Cindy D’Aoust will lead the association’s Dallas-based headquarters as interim Chief Staff Executive. D’Aoust has been directing the operational deployment of MPI’s strategic business plan, working closely with MacMillan.
MacMillan said: “I’ve
been blessed to work directly with an inspired group of volunteer leaders,
management colleagues and industry partners over the past six years. Without their close support and passionate commitment to all things MPI our success would not have been possible.”
