Now that our competition team is getting ready to head to the Maui convention, I thought we could look back on the Great Futures Forum in September. We sent a group of four to Washington D.C. where they got to go to some amazing museums and talk to many industry professionals.

In March we will be sending a group of four down to Maui to participate in the MCAA Anual Convention. Our competition placed 15th so we will not be presenting.

A few of our members recently had the amazing opportunity to go to the 2019 MCAA Great Futures Forum in California! They had a great time networking with companies from across the nation! And of course there was some time to enjoy the great west coast weather!

Contractor Magazine featured an article about organizations which support women in the mechanical industry. This includes a discussion of MCAA's Women in the Mechanical Industry Initiative.

The article features many organizations which are resources for any woman entering this industry.
