Who is MCAM - why do we exist?

MCAM is an autonomous, non-profit trade association created as per the Letters Patent to "support and promote the advancement of the plumbing, heating, pipefitting and mechanical industries and the association and its membership." MCAM is accountable to Industry membership and is overseen by a Board of Directors representative of a cross spectrum of the Mechanical Industry. This includes Union and Non-Union shops, urban and rural, residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial constructors and/or service providers, suppliers, and affiliate associations (CASA, MICA, TAB, MASMAHC, CIPH and ACEC).

MCAM provides leadership to the Industry in areas consistent with a membership driven strategic plan. MCAM's 2017-2022 strategic plan identifies Government Partnership & Advocacy, Member Engagement and Recruitment, Enhancing External Relationships, Education and MCAM Organizational Development as key objectives of the association. The Board of Directors reviews the relevancy of the association objectives every 5 years.

Bylaws

The MCAM Bylaws are determined by the membership. The Board of Directors reviews the Association Bylaws annually to ensure the Association is following the intentions of the membership as well as provide amendment recommendation for consideration at the AGM.
