MRIGlobal – 75th Anniversary Cocktail Reception
June 17th was the date for MRIGlobal’s 75th Anniversary Cocktail Reception, in recognition of its founding in 1944. Civic leaders, current and former members of the board of directors and the board of trustees, and staff members gathered at the Hilton President Kansas City, the site of the very first Midwest Research Institute (now MRIGlobal) board of trustees meeting 75 years ago. Tom Sack, MRIGlobal, paid tribute to the company’s nine founders, and announced four new life trustees.
