MPI Perspective - Fall 2016 - 7

[ I N N O VAT I O N C O R N E R TAKE 5 ] Volunteer with MPINCC One of the best ways to realize a return on your membership investment and engage with the chapter is joining a committee. Opportunities vary in interest and time commitment. Take a look at the variety of chapter committees you can consider joining. Apps That Make Event Planning Easier (and More Fun!) MPINCC Committees: 1 Sortd (sortd.com): Let's face it, your Inbox wasn't meant to be a To Do list. Sortd expands your Gmail inbox into a flexible set of lists that separates important email from the other stuff. Your emails, tasks and priorities now live together in one easy-to-use drag and drop workspace. 2 Slack (slack.com): Organize team conversations in channels that are open or private for select members. Make a channel for a project, a topic, a team - everyone has a view of what's going on. Slack also allows you to share files, images, PDFs, and spreadsheets. 3 Expensify (expensify.com): Can't stand expense reports? Expensify makes capturing receipts, tracking time and mileage, and creating expense reports a breeze. Finally, a way to take the time, paper, and headaches out of generating expense reports! 4 5 WordSwag (wordswag.co): Word Swag transforms words into captivating photo text designs, allowing even the most creatively challenged to become graphic designers in minutes. Create stylish custom quotes, posters, and graphics with the tap of a finger. Poll Everywhere (polleverywhere.com): Create multiple choice, true/false, open-ended, ranking poll, and clickable image questions for attendees to answer in real time from their mobile devices, Twitter, or web browsers. Responses are viewable live on the web or in a PowerPoint presentation.
