Meeting Schedules
To facilitate board communication and assure compliance with the requirements for public notice, all MCCS meetings and work sessions will be posted on this site's Calendar as well as the State of Maine Legislative Calendar.
Task Force chairs are asked to check the dates/times/locations for their groups and notify staff of any changes.
As MCCS adds new staff and commissioners, we hope this central posting will help us all avoid "double booking" and, at the same time, make communication with partners smoother.

This Month's Challenge
It's a 2 part question about the America's Service Commissions (ASC) which will hold its annual member assembly later in September. ASC is the "trade association" of State Service Commissions.
1. Who are the ASC staff? (Hint - look under "Who we are" at http://www.statecommissions.org/)
2. Which seats are vacant on the ASC board comprised of Commissioners and Commission staff? (Hint - see Background material section of HQ\Reports)
