WASHINGTON, D.C.
HSMAI and MPI announced a big new development in their partnership—first launched at MPI’s World Education Congress in July—that initially just entailed each organization providing education and networking events at the other group’s conferences. HSMAI and MPI announced the change during HSMAI Meet Conference, held Sept. 4 to 6 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
Beginning Sep. 21, the two associations will offer a joint membership category whereby new or existing members of either entity can join the other group at a reduced rate. This investment to now be a member of both HSMAI and MPI would be $650.00, which is about a 20 pcercent discount, according to Fran Brasseux, executive vice president of HSMAI.
"Initially, the whole objective will be to ensure the membership of both organizations are benefiting from this partnership," she said. "Going into 2013 we want to engage our organizational leaders and chapters leaders to discuss ways to best maximize the partnership on both the national and local levels."
