The theme for this year is We Meet, We Learn, We Lead.

This year’s kick off will Meet by starting off with an interactive keypad trivia challenge. During the challenge we will Learn by educating and updating chapter members about our overall chapter and each committee – Membership, Education, Finance, Community Outreach, Leadership, and Communications After the chapter members have received this full and detailed information, we challenge you to Lead as we invite you to stop by each committee table, signing up for those you are interested in.

  • Give your input on MPI Minnesota chapter.
  • Ask your MPI Minnesota chapter a question.

It’s time to innovate YOU! Get ready for this powerful, energetic, yet conversational program.

About the Trivia Challenge Presenter

Cosgrove PresentsA man from the lakes of Ireland’s North whose destiny was to follow a South Minneapolis lass to the lakes of Minnesota at the turn of the century. From humble beginnings, he began hosting pub quizzes in Downtown Minneapolis, created Cosgrove Trivia Challenge and has now graduated to speaking in front of thousands. Cosgrove not only presents, he informs, educates, enlightens and entertains. Partnering with the world leaders of interactive keypad technology, IML, each presentation is as interactive as it is energetic.
