Meeting Schedule

Committee and Workgroup Meetings

In addition to General Assembly Meetings, the MCoC operates four committees and several workgroups, each with its own meeting schedule, leadership structure, and scope of work. Meetings are closed to the general public unless a request to attend is made in advance.

Each committee may act on matters within its designated scope — such as event planning, data collection, initial drafting of program recommendations, and system - level work related to its focus area — without prior approval from the Leadership Committee or General Assembly. Workgroups function under their respective committees to complete specialized tasks or support targeted areas of system coordination. Committees bring forward recommendations for broader review when required by charter or when systemwide decisions are needed.
