Leaders Lounge

Yardbird A

​The Presidents & Chancellors Lounge offers college CEOs a place to connect with colleagues, check email, enjoy a refreshment, or just relax. Don’t miss the only area at the MCCA Annual Convention where you can exclusively network with your executive colleagues.

Looking to connect?

The Opening Celebration in Barney Allis Lobby of the Muehlebach Hotel is going to be an event to remember, but it can be a bit intimidating. Why not make some friends beforehand? Stop by the Hive at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday to meet other newbees, MCCA staff and volunteers, and a bunch of other new friends!

Calling all vets!

While we have put a lot of work into these new initiatives for our first timers, we still need your help as a MCCA Annual Convention veteran! The best way for you to help is simply to connect. If you see a first timer, say hello! Introduce them to some of your contacts. Sit by them at a meal. Or simply stop by the Hive. Not only will you be helping the first timers, but you'll be building your own network and quite possibly making a great new friend!
