LOCAL ASSOCIATIONS GREATER MICHIGAN FERRIS CHAPTER ATTENDS MCAA’S 2017 GREATFUTURES FORUM MCAA’s 2017 GreatFutures Forum kicked off with the Futures Fest career fair on September 28th. Chapter Members pictured above with MCAA Executive Vice President John Gentile The first‐ever such event for this conference was a huge success. Representatives from almost 40 participating MCAA member companies were on hand to connect with hundreds of students. Conversation was plentiful, with discussions focused around the employment and internship opportunities available at each company. The event facilitated two matches. Cole Zeiler found his great future with HMH Contractors, Inc. and Kenneth Bankard found his with F.E. Moran, Inc. Congratulations to MCAA members and students alike! If being hired wasn’t enough, the students each received a $500 gift card. Their employers qualified for a reward in the form of a $1,000 internship grant, our way of saying “thanks” for giving a bright, well-educated future professional his or her start on a great career. Space was available throughout the conference to continue the conversations with more extensive interviews. Those hired, and those who do the hiring, qualified for the same rewards throughout the conference. Career Career Development Committee Member Jon Finch noted that MCAA’s annual career‐related conference has grown from an event with 60 attendees to this year’s more than 300. MCAA President Greg Fuller welcomed attendees to his hometown of Indianapolis, saying “I’m delighted to note that this year we have our largest attendance ever, by a wide margin.” His remarks highlighted the opportunities the mechanical industry offers, both in terms of great futures and lifelong learning available from MCAA.
