ALI COURSE 12 GRADUATES 33 FROM U.S. AND ABROAD
MCAA members came from near and far to participate in the construction industry's most prestigious and professionally valuable leadership experience. MCAA Past President Mark Rogers (who is the first ALI graduate to become president) addressed the ALI graduates, stressing the need for them to volunteer at the local and national levels. He noted that his volunteer experience led to his MCAA presidency. Graduates of Course 12 came from nearby Billerica, MA (just a few miles down the road from Babson College) and from as far away as Abu Dhabi. Three Canadians and two women were also members of the class. MCAA President Mac Lynch (an ALI alumnus) congratulated all 33 leaders and seconded Rogers' call for everyone to get involved in their local and national associations. MCA is now taking applications for Course 13, which will be held September 22-27 and November 10-15, 2013. Requests are already coming in for applications.
