MCAA Received 27 Entries for Competition

Twenty-seven MCAA student chapters will be competing this year in MCAA's Student Chapter Competition. In early October at the 2011 Student Chapter Summit in San Francisco, MCAA student chapters were invited to prepare and submit a proposal to retrofit an historic San Francisco building into the Asian Art Museum. And, for the first time, teams were required to prepare a bid for a service and maintenance package on the building after completion of the construction. The bids arrived on December 16, and were sent to a panel of judges drawn from MCAA's Career Development Committee. The judges will choose the top four best-scoring proposals at a meeting in early January 2012, and their teams will be invited to deliver a presentation on their submissions at MCAA 2012 at Walt Disney World® on March 19 at 1:30 p.m. The top prize is $5,000! Thanks to committee member John Powell of Marelich Mechanical Company (Hayward, CA) for arranging for our use of the project. For more information, contact Ann Mattheis (amattheis@mcaa.org).
