Leadership

Guiding MCMGA

If you love to collaborate and are interested in helping MCMGA grow and prosper, a leadership role might be for you. In addition to the board of directors there are lots of ways to engage and fulfill volunteer hours. Reach out to board members or our Purdue Extension ANR educator if you’d like to pursue any of these options. In the case of committee assignments, please know that committee chairs make final assignments based on matching needs with volunteer skills.
