News and Events
As we close out the year, I’m reflecting on what an incredible month November was for MCRPA! We connected over lunch during the Lunch Bunch, where members not only had the chance to network but also got professional headshots. Our Professional Development Lunch and Learn introduced us to valuable resources in the county for our business-minded members, proving how much we can gain from sharing knowledge. And who could forget the trivia outing? Team “Rising Raptors” put up a great fight, holding our own against some serious competition.
Get Involved and Make a Difference with MCRPA!
Joining a committee is one of the best ways to actively participate in the Montgomery College community. As a member, you have the chance to contribute and shape the future of MCRPA. Our committees consist of dedicated members who serve and support the mission of MCRPA. Each committee meets once a month, offering members insights into current initiatives, upcoming events, and important updates.
