Working With MCCA
MCCA has created a new “Request for Proposal” (RFP) process to provide transparency, improve our operations and manage our third-party vendors efficiently. We also hope to create opportunities for women and minority-owned businesses to earn our business in a competitive manner that is transparent and fair while getting MCCA the best value to ensure our dollars stretch the farthest.
The bidding for the Diversity Gala Event Planner RFP is now open. Please send any inquiries and proposals to Luis Barraza at lbarraza@mcca.com.

Pause: Unlocking Dreams Retreat
June 21-25, 2023 | Chicago, IL
Women of color remain the least represented in leadership roles. For those who reach those senior levels, they often find themselves alone or one of few. Relying on life long experiences, their expertise and years of coaching, developing people and leaders, facilitating mindfulness, empowering others to navigate organizational and systemic challenges, serving as diversity and inclusion leaders, Jeena Cho and Kori Carew have curated a unique retreat for women of color professionals.
This retreat includes 16 hours worth of facilitated discussion, group coaching, workshops, mindfulness and meditation exercises. The focus will be on addressing underlying beliefs, cultivating authenticity, stepping into our power and taking up space, gaining clarity around desires and goals, well-being and joy.
EQUILAR DIVERSITY NETWORK ETHNICITY DATA CAMPAIGN
We are proud to announce that MCCA has partnered with the Equilar Diversity Network (EDN) to launch a data campaign to aggregate additional measures of diversity, specifically race/ethnicity. We’d like to invite MCCA members to participate in this important campaign, and encourage you to ask your executive and board member colleagues to do the same, to increase transparency around ethnic representation on corporate boards and the C-suite.
Members can claim their profiles on Equilar’s BoardEdge platform, which hosts more than 500,000 executive and board member profiles for board search opportunities. By self-selecting ethnicity, participants are supporting a data-driven approach to increase board diversity while also making profiles more accessible when diverse candidates are searched.
In partnership with Equilar, we’ll be releasing a report this fall on our progress. We hope you take a moment to participate, and we look forward to continuing our important work together.
