Letter from the President
Jeff Beard, MCA President
Hello. Thank you to our new members.
It’s an exciting time at the MCA. We are currently working on the scheduling of two in-person events, watch for details to be released soon. I believe you will find each event to be filled with great speakers sharing their expertise. I believe these in-person events are the best way to network with experts and get one-on-one time with them, if desired. We purposely provide adequate time for this collaboration. Stay tuned!
The monthly MCA webinars continue to provide robust information on a variety of topics. It would be difficult for an individual to find access to these topics without the MCA. Your participation, by asking questions and joining the webinars, make these presentations better for all. Please take advantage of this benefit.
I would also like to encourage you to share with us topics that you would like to see covered in a webinar or in-person event. This association can thrive only when our membership is involved. Please share.
