Joyce said: “It is a privilege to step into this role with Brian Hand by
my side, VPs Olivia Breene, Daniel Agüero-Duplá, Hannah Lee and
a highly talented Board of Directors and Committee members. We offer diverse
talents and industry skills that have played a crucial role in shaping our
chapter into what it is today. I am truly honoured to work with such a dynamic,
hard-working, and talented team whose dedication, expertise and commitment have
made our chapter stronger than ever before. We will continue to drive our
chapter to new heights.
“As the new President, I am excited about the future and potential of our
chapter, and I am confident we will continue to grow and develop our chapter,
delivering value for our members. I want to thank each and every member for
their ongoing support and engagement. Over the coming months, we will work
diligently to strengthen our industry relationships to enhance our offerings,
provide valuable resources, and create opportunities for networking and
professional advancement.”

Ireland and the Dublin Convention Bureau and welcomes both Orla
Moule and Donna Brogan to the board of directors. The MPI Insights
event will take place for the first time in Ireland this Thursday at Dublin
Royal Convention Centre.
Joyce added: “I couldn't imagine a better way to kick off my
presidency year than hosting International buyers to Ireland to showcase Dublin
as a world-class destination for meetings and events.
“Thank you to Meeting Professionals International and
the Board for entrusting me with this incredible responsibility. Together, we
will explore new opportunities, tackle challenges, and make a lasting impact in
the events industry. I look forward to serving as your President.”
