ROCKVILLE, Md. — The Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) will hold the 2011 Student Chapter Summit, the association’s annual conference for future mechanical construction, mechanical service, and plumbing industry professionals. The event, which is hosted this year by the Northern California MCA, will be held Oct. 6-8 in San Francisco. In addition to students and their faculty advisors, the event typically draws interested contractors and executives and staff from MCAA local affiliated associations.
“I am very excited about moderating at this year’s program of educational sessions,” said Brett Christiansen, chairman of MCAA’s Career Development Committee, a member of MCAA’s board of directors, and president of Palmer-Christiansen Co. Inc. He added, “The program features a variety of aspects of the industry, to truly give our students a feel for their chosen careers. And, the opportunities for networking and learning are second to none.”
