MMANC’s committees support specific areas of focus, including Membership, Communications, Partners and Affiliates, and the Credentialed Government Leader (CGL) program. Event planning committee members are critical to the success of Signature Events and the Annual Conference. While some committee members serve on the Board of Directors, the participation of non-board members on the committees is encouraged.
