At its most recent meeting, the MCAC Associates Council agreed to a $25-increase in its annual dues. The money will be allocated to a brand new "Associates Scholarship" to be awarded annually. The dues increase will apply to your next renewal. The full details of the scholarship are yet to be determined, but it will be in place for the 2018 National Conference. In addition, several associate member companies have agreed to create and award their own scholarships including: Taco, Bradford White, Victaulic, Masco and Oakville Stamping & Bending (OS&B). If you would like to find out how your company can award a national scholarship, please contact Daryl Sharkey via email at daryl@mcac.ca or call 613-232-0492.
