The Meeting Timeline

The Meeting Planning Process:  A Guide to Planning Successful Meetings by Certified Meeting Professional, Mary Jo (MJ) Wiseman, offers a commonsense approach to managing the full spectrum of the meeting planning process based on the knowledge and experience she garnered over her career as a corporate meeting and event coordinator.  The author’s systematic approach to project management helped her to get and stay focused on the task at hand while handling multiple details, projects and deadlines throughout her career.  Now she is sharing her knowledge with others through her writing, coaching and consulting. 

​

The author firmly believes it is NOT just one person who makes a meeting or event happen, but rather a well-led TEAM of dedicated, enthusiastic, talented individuals who come together to do what they do best to help organizations EXCEED PROGRAM OBJECTIVES and make them SHINE.  It is the PROCESS or the system one uses to get started that can either keep you on track or send you off the rails.
