Please join us as we celebrate 35 years of community building in the Commonwealth!
“35 years ago, CDC leaders had the foresight and wisdom to create MACDC and I hope you agree that their decision has paid huge dividends for our field, our communities and our Commonwealth. The MACDC story, which began with the vision and hard work of our founders, has continued to evolve over the past three and a half decades as all of us have worked together to build and sustain one of the strongest community development systems in America. MACDC has been successful because we have had dozens of talented staff members, hundreds of dedicated board members, 90 innovative and impactful members, countless allies and partners, and thousands of donations from individuals, corporations, small businesses and foundations. It’s a record of achievement, and a promise for the future, that we think is worthy of a celebration!” – MACDC President, Joe Kriesberg
