The event was a relaxed and intimate affair and had a jubilant mood as, for many of those on hand, the night offered an opportunity to mix with colleagues for the first time in two years. “It was a special night and a wonderful way to reconnect with old friends,” said MPSE President Mark Lanza. “Our board organized this event to recognize the fantastic work performed by our members and end the year on a high note.”
