Update on Meeting Professionals International Foundation Executive Director

DALLAS, Oct. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- "Effective immediately, Christine Roberts has resigned from Meeting Professionals International (MPI) Foundation. We thank Christine for her service to MPI and the MPI Foundation and wish her success as she pursues her next opportunities.

"While Ms. Roberts maintains her innocence in regard to the allegations against her, she recognizes the potential distraction of her continued association with an organization defined by its commitment to the highest standards of ethics, accounting and transparency. It was for this reason that she has chosen to resign.

"In light of our continued commitment to fiduciary excellence, MPI commenced its own, internal review upon learning of the allegations against Ms. Roberts. While this review will continue and include a full, independent review, we have so far found nothing to suggest any deviation from our normal procedures or that might otherwise jeopardize our exceptional fiscal health or our continued leadership in the meeting and event industry."
