President of MESA International, Mike Yost, comments on the role of MESA’s members who volunteer: “MESA is a global community of industry professionals, and our members ‘win’ when volunteers contribute. These eight volunteers exemplify what it takes to move a community forward for the benefit of all. We wouldn’t have the valuable content, networks and educational tools we have today without passionate professionals, like these gentlemen, who volunteer their time and expertise.”
