Why join the MEEA Board? Here are quotes from current board members during our 2010 Strategic Planning Session:

•  “We've got both new people and a lot of history. A good mix. And we all really like each other. I don't think we would be as good as we are if we didn't enjoy each other's company.”
•  “It's been a place to network”
•  “Getting together to exchange professional information, trials and tribulations, and laugh together.”
