Don McCauley delivers a report from the Membership Committee.
The Membership Committee reported that a membership drive is occurring through the beginning of the annual convention in January. Our goal is to always open the door to future members and show them the tremendous attributes of being a member of the MCAA. We have interest in new areas, such as a student category, a residential category and an employee category.

We are always looking for passionate people to serve as volunteers on our committee. If you are interested in a little hard work and commitment and would like to help strengthen our industry through the MCAA, please notify Bob Birdsell or myself through the main office of the MCAA, 800-536-2225. It is time to unite our industry and take back our market through our local organizations, with the support of the MCAA.
