Committees

As with many organizations, there are committees of volunteers who plan, organize and execute the bulk of the work. The following committees are in place for 2010.

Activities and Events

This committee is in charge of organizing a list of fun and/or educational opportunities for MG/MC's to participate in throughout the year with expectations of building community. They are working closely with the Continuing Education committee and the Member-at-Large to coordinate the program design. Finalized programs will be announced via listserve as well as posted on the "Activities and Events" page on this website.   Contact e-mail:  activities@mgftc.org
