Quarterly MPFC Steering Committee Meeting

Recurring steering committee council meetings will now consistently take place virtually the last Tuesday of February, May, August, and November from 9:00AM-12:00PM (EST). This will allow us to build on the momentum of our annual meeting and avoid peak burning season. Meeting agendas and notes will be posted on the website Committee Notes page.

The August meeting will be a hybrid meeting with in-person and virtual attendance options.
