May 20, 2010 – Phoenix, Arizona – Meeting Professionals International (MPI) announces five recipients of the Recognizing Industry Success and Excellence (RISE) Awards and one recipient is Phoenix-based. The outstanding achievements of these individuals, communities and organizations will be acknowledged at the RISE Awards presentation on July 24, 2010 during MPI's World Education Congress (WEC) in Vancouver, Canada.

The RISE Awards include annual awards in three categories: individual achievement, community achievement and organizational achievement. Recipients are recognized for innovation, global transferability, impact and influence. This is the first time that the awards will be given for all three categories within the program.

"We are very excited to recognize the first class of RISE Award winners. These recipients exemplify model behaviors and proven programs which bring exceptional value to our community," said Hattie Hill, CMM, Chair of the RISE Awards Judging Panel.

The RISE Award for Community Achievement in Marketplace Excellence will be presented to the MPI Arizona Sunbelt Chapter for developing and executing the Global Community Challenge. The challenge, developed from the expressed needs of chapter members, encouraged members to use their MPI connections to supplement their current business. Through the program, over 286 business-to-business meetings took place, 87 lead referrals were produced and more than $1.3 million in sales was credited to the business relationships developed.
