Membership in MCDP is more than a plaque on the wall…it’s relationships within the business community, partnering to create opportunities for growth:
MCDP members can count on promotion and support of their business through the publications, committees, activities, and projects of the organization. Members also benefit from opportunities to be involved in the growth and promotion of the community.
