MSPC Consultants College Program -
The new MSPC Consultants’ College Program
series will be presented and discussed in a special workshop session.
The Consultant's College is a new resource for members designed to
strengthen and support MSPC’s mission of providing ways to continually
improve members’ skill sets and educational edge, as well as improving
social and business networking opportunities. The College will be
made up of groups of consultants that seek to engage in a range of
specialized activities. The activities we share will be determined
based on your feedback. Members and guests will have an opportunity
to take part in their choice of activities at future meetings.
Imagine what activities would greatly enhance your own professional
development. Perhaps it’s reading and discussing a book of interest?
Designing your own web site? Discussing best practices in
consulting? Come prepared with your ideas as we plan and build our
new College Program, designed around MSPC consultants. Presenter:
