Plan Revised Based on Your Ideas
Back in November at the conference in Pasadena, we introduced the draft of the plan and invited all of you to critique it. We held a meeting at the conference for feedback and provided an online feedback mechanism. We have taken everyone's comments into consideration and made improvements based on your suggestions.
Greater Transparency in MCN Governance
For example, you wanted greater transparency in the governance of MCN. Having the new strategic plan on the website is the first step. Soon we will be posting job descriptions for Board level positions currently in existence, and we will post descriptions for volunteer positions we would like to fill. Later this year, we will begin posting Board Meeting summaries, so you may become acquainted with the inner workings of those meetings.
Conference Fees and Scholarships
We heard your feedback about conference fees and scholarships, too. The plan includes examining conference fees this year and determining if they can be lowered without compromising MCN's long-term fiscal stability. If we can lower the fees, we will. And we will investigate expanding the scholarship program.
