Academic Partnership Program


MCPA partners with colleges and universities to further the association’s mission and raise member awareness of the academic options available for career advancement at local, regional and national institutions.  MCPA Academic Partners have face-to-face contact with members during one or more of the association’s professional development academies.  This includes the ability to conduct a live webinar with members and on-site presence at the MCPA’s major training conferences and events. Academic Partners also have a voice in the association’s internal and external communications channels (i.e. website, podcasts, magazine and newsletter).
