It is a great time to get involved in the future of the MAC! The Club is now accepting nominations for the 2025 Board of Governors and letters of intent are due on or before Feb. 25. On the latest episode of MAC Club Connections, hear from two past presidents on the important and rewarding opportunity that is serving the MAC through club governance whether that's on the Board or on one of the four standing Committees. Past President Brent Beumer and Past President Neal Perryman shared what led them to serving on the Board. Anyone who is interested in Board service should feel free to reach out to a current or past governor. They will be happy to answer questions and share their experiences. The Board of Governors election is on May 1 and committees will be seated in June by 2025-2026 President Mike Kozeny and his Board class.
