Massachusetts MRC “Best Practices” Conference

March 20, 2007 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health sponsored a one-day statewide “Medical Reserve Corps Best Practices Conference” that was held on March 20, 2007 at the Best Western Royal Plaza in Marlborough, MA from 9AM to 4PM. MRC unit directors, coordinators, volunteers and members of the Massachusetts public health coalitions attended this free and informative event. This conference provided a unique opportunity for MRC leaders across the Commonwealth to share techniques about volunteer recruitment, call-down procedures, and how to partner with other community groups. The conference also allowed MRC subcommittees that have been meeting throughout the year to share recommended standards on issues like badging, data management, training and credentialing with the larger group. The public health coalitions representatives learned more about the many skills that MRC units can offer in times of community need. To download a copy of the conference program, please click here.

2007 MRC National Leadership and Training Conference – “Forging Powerful Partnerships”

All MRC communities are invited to send one MRC unit leader to participate in the 4-day network development conference to be held April 17–20, 2007, at The Westin Providence in Providence, Rhode Island. Join national government and nongovernmental organizations, emergency response and public health experts, and other community volunteer organizations for this 4-day knowledge-sharing conference. Agenda items will include an array of topics in response to community requests for both the seasoned and newly developed MRC communities. This conference is an ideal meet-and-greet opportunity for local MRC leaders to share best practices and strategies. Due to the tremendous program growth in the past year and to space restrictions, the 2007 MRC National Leadership and Training Conference will be limiting registration and attendance to one MRC leader per unit. The MRC Program Office will do its best to accommodate any additional parties interested in attending the conference.
