A few point from the Gulf States Chapter about the current oil spill situation

1. We are aware that the oil spill will have a long-term lasting emotional, financial and ecological impact on our region, and on our membership.

2. New Orleans and Alabama/Mississippi Gulf Coast member businesses remain fully operational, open and ready for business!

3. The MPI Gulf States Chapter encourages the global meeting planning and convention community to continue to do business with our members in the region.

4. MPI members can remain fully and accurately informed on CVB websites for the New Orleans, Mobile Bay and Mississippi Gulf Coast areas which are updated regularly with the most current information.
