Standing Committees

Standing Committee members volunteer within the organization by joining the Education Committee, Influence Committee and Membership Committee. The Board Chair, with approval of the Board of Directors, annually appoints these groups, which consist of at least one member of the Board of Directors that serve as liaisons to the committee. Committee terms are for one year (and may extend for a second year).

Education Committee

Provides guidance and direction on the association’s education offerings and generates topic and speaker recommendations for the various education activities throughout the year, in-person and online. Ideal candidates should have an interest in adult learning theory and have a strong pulse on industry trends and the diverse needs of the financial services and insurance meetings professionals’ community. Committee members should be well-connected with experts and peers capable of speaking on such topics.

2026 committee roster coming soon.

Influence Committee

Oversees successful execution of advocacy efforts that support three overarching goals: 1) elevating the perception of meetings professionals and the impact of events, 2) increasing the number of meetings professionals “at the table” with C-Suite executives in their own organization and 3) elevating the perception of FICP as the premier organization for meetings professionals and hospitality partners in the F&I industry. Ideal candidates are senior-level professionals familiar with FICP who also have insight on elevating the perception of meetings professionals.

Membership Committee

Supports the association’s initiatives to recruit new members and retain existing ones. Focuses on enhancing member engagement and ensuring a valuable onboarding experience for new members. Ideal candidates feel comfortable talking to strangers, are well-networked and can speak from the heart about why they are FICP members or hospitality partners — real ambassadors who can speak to the value of FICP to others.
