The MPI Foundation appointed foundation veteran Paula Hughes as its executive director.
Hughes has over 20 years of experience in corporate and foundation work, having worked for three not-for-profit organizations in the North Texas region: Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Arthritis Foundation and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Hughes also worked in the corporate sector as assistant director of marketing and communications for Woodbine Development Corporation and as director of public relations for Adolf Coors/Willow Distributors.
“The MPI Foundation couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Paula to our organization,” said Margaret Moynihan, chairwoman of the MPI Foundation. “We are confident that Paula’s fundraising and operational experience will bring great value to the mission of the MPI Foundation as we celebrate our 25th anniversary of raising funds and giving back to the meetings and events industry.”
