March 2010 Program

ISES Minnesota STAR Awards
Friday, March 26

Once a year the International Special Events Society Minneapolis-St. Paul Chapter hosts the event of events where the community unites to celebrate individuals and organizations for the outstanding events they design, create and execute each year.

Please join us for a latin-inspired evening. This year's celebration promises to be an unforgettable night of Brazilian, Cuban and Puerto Rican cultures combining to create a hot fusion of sultry surroundings.

Eat, drink and dance the night away to the sounds of "Salsa Del Soul", the Twin Cities-based orchestra performing various styles of Latin American rythms including Bachata, Cha-cha-cha, Plena and, of course, salsa! 

Thank you to everyone who sent in a nomination.  We're excited to announce the 2010 Nominees!  Drumroll please...

Letter From the President:

State of the Chapter
We've heard the State of the Union from the President of the United States and many of you attended
Meetings: Minnesota's Hospitality Journal's State of the Industry Event 2010 so you may wonder what the State of our Chapter is. Thriving is the word I believe best describes our Chapter.

Currently we have 200 members, including 31 students, that are affiliated with the Minneapolis-St Paul Chapter. This represents a large jump in our student members while holding well on full members.

We are averaging just under 100 attendees at our monthly programs and our members-only socials are drawing between 10% and 30% of our members for cocktails and networking. Feedback from our monthly programs continues to indicate high levels of satisfaction with the education and networking opportunities provided.

We received 65 binders and 106 individual entries for the
Minnesota Star Awards. That high number of entries shows creative and effective events are still being produced - it also means competition will be fierce!

Our newly launched
Mentorship Program has matched 100% of the members who have requested mentors. If you are interested in being a mentor or wish to have a mentor, let us know!

As you can see from just those few examples, our Chapter is vibrant, relevant, and thriving. That is due to all of you and your active participation in our programs, socials, committees, and other activities. If you would like to become more involved in the Chapter, contact us at
info@ises-msp.org. Nominations for the Minneapolis-St Paul Board will be mailed out to you near the end of March. Please consider stepping into a leadership role within the Chapter, we need you!
