For New Members

1.  FILL OUT YOUR ONLINE PROFILE

You’ll want to fill this out ASAP so other members and people in our community can find you and your business. In addition, make sure you create a full description of your business (the search engine uses your text to help people find you), and if you want to create any special deals for MPCC members, make sure you include them under the “Deals” tab in your profile! To work on your profile, go to the Manage Account link under Members.

2. ATTEND OUR MONTHLY MEETING EACH MONTH

Our monthly meeting is held at the Omar Shrine in Mount Pleasant on the third Thursday of every month with some meetings taking place at Alhambra Hall (please check calendar for location). If you want to start building relationships, mark the third Thursday down in your calendar and then make sure you sign up in advance by going to our events calendar, clicking on the event and then registering.

3. ATTEND A NETWORKING MEETING

Most people join an organization like the MPCC because they want to create mutually beneficial business relationships with other members of the business community. Well, if that’s you, then you’ll want to take advantage of our monthly (and sometimes twice-monthly) networking meetings like Before Nine, After Hours, YPG, RISE, and Food for Thought.. You can find out about our next networking meeting anytime you want by simply clicking on Events and scrolling through the monthly calendar.

4. VOLUNTEER ON A COMMITTEE

As with any volunteer organization, the people who get the most value from that organization are always those who volunteer and serve in some capacity. So, rather than wait until you’re asked, view our committees on the About page. See what committee you’re most interested in and then contact that committee head.

5. USE MEMBER BUSINESSES

One of the best ways we can all help one another succeed is to intentionally use other MPCC members for our own business needs. To do that, just go to the Member Directory and use the search bar for whatever you need. If there’s a MPCC member who’s offering what you need, we’d highly encourage you to use them. It’s one of the benefits of being part of a membership organization.

6. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS WEBSITE
