MCT 100 (Getting to Know MCT--For Prospective Volunteers, Staff, Board Members and Community Members Looking to Take Their Leadership Skills to the Next Level)
"MCT 100" is a free introductory event presented quarterly that gives a 120-minute introduction to what we're all about (our "Why"), where we're going, and how you may be able to play a role (supportive or starring). Independent community leaders are also likely to find big ideas to propel their contribution to the next level. Go to the front page of our website (scroll to the bottom) to sign up. Click Here for a detailed fact sheet. There is also a video version of MCT 100 for those who can't wait for the live event (but you should absolutely do both!)
