Board of Directors

In order to meet development challenges around the world, as well as right here in our own backyards in the US, we need the engagement and dedication of the next generation of leaders. But success will only come if these leaders engage from a place of empathy, humility and competency. MCN guarantees just that. This is why I am involved with the MCN.

— Valerie Bockstette, Managing Director, FSG
