Words: Jeff Buczkiewicz

I wanted to extend an invite to the MCAA’s first Instructor Committee Zoom call. The call will be held THIS FRIDAY July 22nd, at 10:00 AM Central. The meeting link can be accessed by clicking below. This will be our organizational Zoom, and we will talk about the committee and discuss what the needs of the instructors are, select two co-chairs of the committee and then assemble the committee the co-chairs will work with.

If you are interested in this group and knowing more about it, this will be a Zoom you need to be a part of. The important thing to note is this group is for the instructors, and the agenda and priority of needs will be developed by the committee. We will have an agenda out for the meeting on Thursday, July 21. We hope you will able to join us, please let us know if you will be able to make the call so we can plan for the number of folks who will be present. I look forward to our call this week.
