MARC's 14th Annual Business Advisory Council Breakfast and Awards Celebration was held recently at Middlesex Community College.  The guest speaker was Marc Mercadante, Regional Director of the Special Olympics, Eastern Region.  MARC honors businesses and schools that work with people with disabilities and honors outstanding employees, teachers and students every year.

The Business Advisory Council is made up of a group of local business men and women who volunteer not only their time, but their expertise with job leads, referrals, tracking current labor market trends and networking within the business community. As the BAC grows we hope it is also a valuable tool for business people to network and make business contacts.

The Business Advisory Council at MARC meets bi-monthly from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. at our Administrative Building in Portland and a continental breakfast is served. If you are interested in joining MARC's Business Advisory Council please contact Amy Meckensturm at (860) 635-5151 x 311.
