MTA Summer Conference 2010 - Williamstown

Sun - Thurs
August 8 - 12
The flyer for the MTA's Summer Conference this year was in the April/May issue of MTA Today. It is also located on the MTA website (click here). Contact your chapter president NOW about possible MCCC financial support. The conference costs $125 per night which includes singleCover of the MTA Booklet dorm room and 3 meals a day and all conference materials. Look over the schedule to see how many days you want to attend and plan to attend every day for which you register!

The MCCC will pay the conference costs (housing, meals, registration) for three (3) MCCC members per chapter, determined by the Chapter President. Unused chapter registrations may be paid up to the total of 45 chapter registrations.

To qualify for MCCC funding you MUST use this Support Authorization document (click here to download) to process your request. Basically you must:
  1. Determine the days you plan to attend, and any workshop fees. The MCCC will pay $125 per day and any workshop fees. You use the booklet for that, The link is above if you don't have it.
  2. Get the approval of your chapter president, noting the number of days, and workshop fees.
  3. Your chapter president must notify the MCCC office of the amount of support requested, noting the number of days, and workshop fees.
  4. The office must notify you that you are approved for MCCC support, and for how much.
  5. You register yourself with the MTA, using the form in the booklet, or online, as specified in the booklet. The MCCC does NOT register you.
Note: The previous MCCC deadline of Wednesday May 26 is past. However authorizations will still be accepted from chapter presidents on a space available basis.
Williamstown is a beautiful location, with a great art museum, sports facilities, and other cultural and scenic attractions. The conference is a relaxed summer retreat - give it a try!
