Sometimes we need advice, and we don't know where to find it. While MCAS staff are available to the membership, often a contractor simply needs to talk to another contractor. There is a wealth of knowledge available within our membership, but it needs to be accessible.
The solution: MCAS Peer-to-Peer Program
The concept is simple: Provide a platform for members to seek the advice of other members.
Connecting is easy: Review the profiles of the available peers and reach out either via phone or email.
Confidential: All conversations are kept confidential.
