Matthew Wales, AACTE’s senior director of meetings, events, and special projects, will be honored next month with an award from Meeting Professionals International (MPI). Wales will receive the award on behalf of the organization’s Potomac chapter (PMPI), on whose board he has served 5 years, including the past year as president.

The chapter was selected to receive the Recognizing Industry Success and Excellence Award for Community Achievement in Marketplace Excellence, which will be presented August 3 during MPI’s World Education Congress in San Francisco, California. PMPI will receive the RISE award for its Flipped Marketplace program, which in 5 years has helped double the cash sponsorship for its annual Mid-Atlantic Conference and Expo.

During his 9 years at AACTE, Wales has taken the lead on innovating member networking through high-quality professional development opportunities. His role as president of PMPI has only expanded his industry expertise, which continues to benefit AACTE. His award is just one example of the dedication that the AACTE staff has to provide its members with highest quality engagement.

Congratulations, Matt!
