Senior Planner Circle of Excellence
Who is the Senior Planner Circle of Excellence group? Are you a senior meeting planner with at least seven years of experience working for a corporation, association or yourself as an independent meeting planner? If so, you will be interested in joining this group to collaborate, benchmark and obtain education for career growth opportunities from a network of extensive expertise.

Is this a new group? The name Senior Planner Circle of Excellence (SPCOE) replaces our previous name, The Affinity Group, to simply clarify who we are.

When do we meet? Based on feedback and in order to be respectful of everyone’s time, meetings will be held monthly in conjunction with the Monthly Education Meetings—either prior to or immediately following for one hour.

How do I join? If you meet the senior planner criteria, send an e-mail to the chair: Julie Ann Schmidt, CMP.
