The Society of Government Meeting Professionals (SGMP) is the only organization that is solely focused on the needs of the government meeting planning industry.  We are the fourth largest chapter in the nation and our members hail from all across the great state of Missouri.  The majority of our planners are employed by state government agencies.  Our supplier members represent the hotel industry, convention and visitor bureaus, and other meeting-related companies who are dedicated to providing the required resources that meeting planners need to complete their job. 

SGMP is a non-profit national organization comprised of thirty-three chapters that aims to improve the knowlege and expertise of those who plan and execute federal, state, or local meetings, through the provision of educational and networking opportunities; thereby also improving the quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of government meetings.  The Missouri State Capital Chapter offers a wide variety of educational training opportunities through monthly programs at the local Chapter level, our Annual Joint Meeting Planners Tradeshow and at the Annual National Education Conference.

I invite you, to join SGMP’s Missouri State Capital Chapter and become one of the great members that are able to take advantage of the benefits that include: continuing education units; professional certifications, including the CGMP (Certified Government Meeting Professional); membership directories; government “Advantage” magazine; industry forums; scholarships; network of resources; and much more.
