SGMP Louisiana

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 Relaxation Day from SGMP Louisiana Chapter! ✨😌

Today is National Relaxation Day — which for most meeting professionals means staring blankly at a room diagram wondering why the AV table is never where you put it. 😂

BUT NOT TODAY. 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️

Today we are giving ourselves full permission to:

☕ Let the coffee get cold without reheating it three times
📋 Close the BEO and walk away
📱 Put the phone down — yes, even if a speaker hasn't confirmed yet
🛁 Take a actual break without feeling guilty about it
😴 Rest — because YOU, government meeting professional, have EARNED it

Here is your official reminder that the people who pour everything into making every detail perfect for everyone else absolutely deserve a moment — or a whole day — to breathe, recharge, and simply BE. 🌿💜

So today we are officially declaring a NO room blocks, NO catering minimums, NO last-minute agenda changes zone. 🚫📋

How are you relaxing today? Drop it in the comments — we need inspiration! 👇😄

You plan the best meetings. Now plan the best rest. 🌟
