TESTIMONIALS:

Someone once said that one of the "C"s in "MACCA" should stand for Cindy! Cindy has led MACCA well as President in 2022, VP in 2021, and Conference Co-Chair in 2020. Her dedication and work ethic are inspiring. She has been an absolute joy to work with and she deserves to be recognized for her efforts.

She stepped up as President this year and has done a phenomenal job in the position. She has put numerous hours and effort into making the Annual Conference a live event again this year and has taken on new responsibilities as needed to get the job done and make things work!
