Public Sector Participation

The participation of State and Territorial governments in the MESC is vital to its success.  Given the strain on public budgets over the past several years, we want to help decrease the travel and registration costs for our public sector partners.  We are asking for your help in this effort.

In general, travel and registration costs per participant are about $2,000.  We are accepting contributions of $500 and up towards this effort.

Contributions to this fund will not be linked to any specific State or Territory. Funds will be pooled together and made available to all States and Territories. Contributing organizations will not know whose travel is supported with these funds and will have no input on the selection process.

We will recognize any organization that contributes to this purpose in our MESC Conference Program and other methods (e.g., MESC e-news).

Please contact David Huffman at 508.365.7833 or david.huffman@nescso.org with any questions.
