how does MAC work?
MAC’s members believe that the only way to move the region forward is for leaders in business, labor, government and education to work together. Most of the region’s complex problems cannot be effectively addressed by any one sector, organization or governmental unit acting alone. MAC develops collaborative relationships, provides a forum for identifying and exploring issues, builds consensus, and communicates with the public, elected officials, opinion leaders, and diverse stakeholders to stimulate action in response to regional needs.
