Dlaczego warto był wolontariuszem... ? Co daje zaangażowanie w świat ?

Ta historia to 15 lat tworzenia, wspierania, budowania i wiara w to, że wolontariat prywatny, pracowniczy, osobisty i firmowy działa.
Pierwsze spotkanie odbyło się u mnie w domu. Do tej pory pamiętam tą kolację i rozmowy. Chcieliśmy pokazać światową branżę spotkań w Polsce. Oczywiście to nie czas na podsumowania bo wolontariuszem nadal jestem. Ale... dlaczego warto... ?
🎤 WARTO SIĘ SPOTYKAĆ - branża spotkań to godziny wymiany myśli, uśmiechów, biznesów i wyzwań. Nie zawsze jest wesoło, ale zawsze jest "Z KIM"
🎤 MOŻESZ WSZYSTKO - praktycznie na cały świecie mam kontakt, z którym współpracuje, buduje nowe pomysły i wymyślam jak można zmieniać świat
🎤 ROZWÓJ - 10 międzynarodowych certyfikatów, 5 kierunków studiów i DUŻO WIEDZY
🎤 WSPARCIE - XXI wiek to okres gdzie mamy wahania, brak wiary, czasami również brak siły do kolejnych działań.

To wszystko dał mi wolontariat na rzecz MPI Poland Chapter - dziękuje za to 15 lat.
Pani Prezes jest tylko jedna Barbara Świderska - spotkanie z pomysłem. Brawo dla zarządu i członków. W imieniu Meeting Professionals International - MPI Foundation BARDZO DZIĘKUJĘ za wsparcie! Super pomysły i pieniążki na wsparcie! Brawo MY! Plany i wizje na kolejne 2 lata wspólnie z Federico Toja i przede wszystkim WAMI!

When we meet we can change the world! Tak dla przypomnienia dla byłych prezesek i prezesa: Wojtek Wojtek Agnieszka Faracik Marta Kicler Monika Dymacz

🇺🇸 "2B" conquers another continent

✈️ Our vice-chairwoman, accompanied by the Rector of Vistula School of Hospitality, had an exhilarating experience at the World Education Congress (WEC) 2024 in the United States, thanks to the Maritz MPI Foundation Scholarship she received.

🎓 WEC, organized annually by Meetings Professionals International (MPI), spanned three days, brimming with diverse sessions focused on the meetings industry. While education is at the core of WEC, it's not just about learning.

🥳 Networking parties are a key element!

The WEC organizers excel at this.

🐎🪩 On the first day, there was an opening ceremony at the iconic Kentucky Derby venue. The congress concluded with an all-American event, where an entire street was closed off so MPI members could network and celebrate, wrapping up three days of intensive networking.

Remember MPI's slogan: "When we meet, we change the world."

Which continent will "2B" conquer next? Stay tuned 👀
