Volunteers Play a Critical Role

- Consider issues relevant to the function and purposes of the MCWD.
- Examine, refine, and build on the strategy and communications for MCWD key initiatives.
- Review and advise on budget, capital improvement plans, and other projects or activities.
- Advise and assist in decision-making.
- Raise issues of public concern.
