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 Mother's Day from the SGMP Louisiana Chapter! 🌸

Today we celebrate ALL the moms in our chapter family — the ones who juggle room blocks AND bedtime routines, negotiate hotel contracts AND school schedules, manage event logistics AND soccer practice pickups! 🏨🚗👩‍👧‍👦

Let's be honest — if anyone knows how to handle a last-minute room change, a difficult vendor, AND a toddler meltdown all at the same time… it's a mom who happens to be a government meeting professional! 😂💪

To every mom in our SGMP Louisiana Chapter family — whether you're a mom to little ones, grown ones, fur babies, or the whole chapter family — YOU are seen, YOU are celebrated, and YOU are absolutely AMAZING! 🌟

Happy Mother's Day to you and all the special moms in your life! 💛🌸

From your SGMP Louisiana Chapter family — with love! 💐
