SGMP Louisiana

SGMP is a nonprofit professional organization of persons involved in planning government meetings.

The Society of Government meeting professionals was established in October 1981 in Washington, DC. Organizers of government meetings saw a need for a forum in which to discuss mutual objectives and techniques for conducting business meetings of the government. They sought to create an opportunity to meet on common ground with the providers of meeting services and facilities to review the latest trends in planning and implementing these events.

🍩🎉 HAPPY NATIONAL DONUT DAY from the SGMP Louisiana Chapter! 🎉🍩
Listen y'all — we don't know WHO decided to give donuts their own national holiday, but we are pretty sure it was a meeting planner because only a meeting planner knows that DONUTS are the secret weapon of every successful event! 😂✨
Think about it —
🍩 The Glazed Classic = That one agenda item that ALWAYS runs over time no matter what you do! Sweet, inevitable, and nobody can stop it! 😅
🍩 The Chocolate Frosted = Your AV team — rich, dependable, and absolutely essential! You don't appreciate them until they're not there! 💻🎤
🍩 The Jelly Filled = The conference registration process — looks smooth on the outside but SURPRISE — something unexpected is always hiding in the middle! 😂📋
🍩 The Sprinkled = Your networking reception — colorful, fun, everyone's favorite part, and gone WAY too fast! 🎊
🍩 The Cruller = The hotel contract negotiation — twisted, complicated, but absolutely worth it in the end! 📝💪
🍩 The Donut Hole = That one agenda item that somehow got LEFT OFF the printed program! We've all been there! 😬😂
🍩 The Boston Cream = The post-event survey results — sometimes sweet, sometimes a surprise, but always telling you something important! 📊
And just like a great meeting — the best part of National Donut Day is SHARING with your team! 💜💛💚
So go grab a donut today, meeting planners — you have EARNED it! 🍩🥂
Tag a fellow meeting pro who runs on coffee AND donuts! ☕🍩👇

🚲🎉 HAPPY WORLD BICYCLE DAY from the SGMP Louisiana Chapter! 🎉🚲
You know what meeting planners and bicycles have in common?
👀 We'll wait...
THEY BOTH KEEP GOING NO MATTER WHAT! 😂💪
Think about it y'all —
🚲 A bicycle has to balance two wheels...
📋 A meeting planner has to balance TWO HUNDRED moving parts, three needy vendors, a keynote speaker who just changed their AV requirements, AND a catering order that somehow lost the vegetarian option! 😅
🚲 A bicycle needs a good chain to keep moving...
📋 A meeting planner needs a good TEAM, strong coffee, and a group text that never stops! ☕📱
🚲 A bicycle sometimes hits a bump in the road...
📋 A meeting planner hits a bump, fixes it before anyone notices, smiles at the attendees, and orders more coffee! 😂✨
🚲 A bicycle needs a helmet for protection...
📋 A meeting planner needs a CGMP, thick skin, and a very large planner binder! 📚💼
But in all seriousness — just like a great bicycle ride, what we do as government meeting professionals takes balance, endurance, determination, and the willingness to keep pedaling even when the road gets bumpy! 💜💛💚
And we wouldn't have it any other way! 🚲💨
Happy World Bicycle Day from your SGMP Louisiana family — now get out there and RIDE! 🎊
