MCC 30th Anniversary Topgolf Event
Learn more100 MCC 30th Anniversary Topgolf Event 2019-03-12 14:30:00 2019-03-12 18:30:00 #262626MCC is turning 30 this year! Each year MCC’s membership base has grown and the number and quality of the programs offered by MCC has grown with it. Continuing education programs, hands-on demonstrations, golf and sporting clays events, scholarships, research… The list of MCC activities is hard to keep track of even for those who are tapped in regularly.
The MCC Board of Directors and Membership Committee invite you to join us for a 30th Anniversary Celebration at Topgolf in Brooklyn Center Tuesday afternoon, March 12. The purpose of the event is to provide a fun way for our members to have a chance to network in a relaxed atmosphere while learning more about what MCC has to offer. The kicker? We want you to invite someone from your office who doesn’t currently attend MCC events – who may not even know that they’re a member. Our goal this year is to increase participation from a broader, more diverse cross-section of our current membership base. You are encouraged to invite colleagues from within your company or even someone from a company who is not currently a member but who could gain from involvement in MCC.
The event will begin with a short panel discussion that will be moderated by the 2017 MCC President, Murphy Curran (Meyer Borgman Johnson). Panelists will include four industry greats who have supported MCC since its inception - Dave Pace, Mike Ramerth, Dean Stroschein and Terry Swor. They will reminisce about how their involvement with MCC has impacted their careers and provide some insight on what they wish they knew at the beginning of their careers.Registration opens at 2:00 pm. The one-hour presentation begins at 2:30 pm. Topgolf, food and beverages will run from 3:30 - 6:30 pm. You don't have to be a golfer to enjoy Topgolf! No experience is needed. Clubs are provided.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS SAY
Involvement with MCC has given me a direct connection to the best and brightest in Minnesota’s concrete industry, from concrete and cement suppliers, to concrete design experts, to concrete product suppliers.Thor Heimdahl, PE, SE – Sr. Structural Engineer at Life Time Architecture & Design
People don't know what they're missing. MCC has a tradition at its breakfast meetings that all attendees stand up and introduce themselves and tell everyone what they do. When you see the players in that room, you realize how important it is to be there. If you're in this industry, you need contacts and resources. And they're all in that room!Dean Stroschein – Trade Superintendent at Knutson Construction
Participating in MCC has given me the opportunity to connect with and learn about the perspectives of other individuals involved in concrete construction. As a design engineer, it has been immensely helpful to learn more about how suppliers, contractors, and testing agencies perform their duties.Doug Nagel - Associate, Senior Structural Engineer at VAA, LLC
