Introducing charisMATIc: MATI’s Quarterly Social Gatherings

By Meghan McCallum, MATI Vice President

 

As part of new member offerings in 2017, MATI is hosting quarterly social gatherings in metropolitan areas of Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. These informal events, called charisMATIc, are an opportunity for MATI members to network with each other, meet their local board members, and learn more about how to get involved with the association.

 

charisMATIc Chicago took place on March 10 at Bar Louie River North. President Joseph Wojowski and Treasurer Kate Jankowski hosted the evening, which was well-attended by members from the Chicago area.

 

The second installment, charisMATIc Milwaukee, was held on March 24 at MOVIDA in Walker’s Point. Vice President Meghan McCallum, Secretary Amy Polenske, and Directors Marina Ilari, Ghada Shakir, and Tyann Zehms enjoyed seeing colleagues and meeting new members at the event.

charisMATIc Madison was held at Barriques West Wash on April 19. Directors Kristy Brown Lust and Thaís Passos welcomed members and invited them to share ideas for future training and networking events.

 

Please stay tuned for announcements of future charisMATIc events, including an Indianapolis installment! We look forward to meeting more of our members through these quarterly events.
