People often ask what the word POD (Professional Organization for Development) represents in relation to our chapter. A few years ago when the chapter was smaller, the board at the time decided to expand the chapter across Iowa and into Nebraska to grow the membership. The effort was successful, the chapter grew and we have maintained the PODs ever since. It not only helps the chapter grow but solves our geographically challenged problem of living so far apart and having to travel monthly.

The MPI Heartland Chapter has three pods, the Central, Eastern and Western POD.

The Central POD consists of Des Moines, Ames, Pella, and surrounding communities in Central Iowa.
