Committees

MCN committees perform and manage a wide variety of the organization's work. Each committee has a board member either as its chair or as its board liaison; other committee members are drawn from the board and/or from MCN's general membership. Certain areas of work are led, coordinated, or performed by Chairs or Liaisons without committees.
