鈥淚 had been coming to MFORUM events for many years and I wanted to get more involved, so I joined the Steering Committee. It turned out to be a great decision; not only did I learn more about event planning, working on a cross-functional team, and managing in general, I also got to share a lot of my experience with other members of the Steering Committee and make a positive impact on the management staff at the University."

听-Mark Michaud, Director of Administration, Desautels Faculty of Management
