Seminars
As part of our effort to keep members educated and prepared the MCA offers seminars on environmental issues periodically throughout the year and particularly at the Winter Conference, held in February of each year. Check the Events listing in this website for any scheduled seminars.
Environmental Consulting
For professional advice concerning specific environmental situations affecting your business, members can call Joe Quandt, an environmental attorney on retainer to the MCA. Formerly an attorney with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, Joe serves as the resource for an important member benefit - one hour of free legal consultation per month.
Joe also publishes a regular Environmental Issues Update newsletter about compliance issues, which is distributed free to MCA members.
MCA members can contact Mr. Quandt at (231)947-7800.
