The opening address was given by MPSE President Mark Lanza who congratulated the organization’s members for their perseverance during the pandemic. “These past two years, our members led the way in developing remote solutions that kept them working,” Lanza said. “We salute their ingenuity. MPSE has always stood for creativity and innovation.”
