Received a great message from an MASC alum currently stationed in Afghanistan. For anyone that questions what MASC can do for you, read this over! We wish Eddie the best of luck and safe return from his deployment in Afghanistan!

I am Eddie Walsh and I was an MASC delegate 2005-2006. Bottom line up front, MASC makes leaders.
I can look back and confidently say that being involved and attending as many SEMASC and MASC events as I did definitely helped prepare me for college and the infamous "life after college" aka the real world. On a daily basis I use the planning, communication, and creative thinking skills that I learned from workshops, small and large group speakers.
As a (recovering) Student Council kid and a current Marine Officer I recommend that every Massachusetts high school student attend the spring MASC conference and the MASC Summer Camp and participate to the fullest extent.
If I could, I would love to visit the conference and see how it has changed and grown in the 7 years since I last attended, however I am in Helmand Province, Afghanistan and last time I checked Hyannis is quite a commute.
Please tell all the students and advisers that I wish I could be there with them.

Respectfully,
1stLt Edward Walsh

Go to http://www.mastuco.net/ and click on one of the following options on the left side of the main page:

"Full  - Annual State Conference" registration - Use this registration method if your student list is fairly certain and you have minimal TBD (to be determined) students.   The registration worksheet will help you prepare your rooms before you go online to register. It can be downloaded here http://www.mastuco.net/images/confregwork.pdf ..  If you have a significant number of TBD students, you will be best off to use the "Quick - Annual State Conference" registration.  This will give you until February 1st to come back to the site and complete this full registration.

 "Quick  - Annual State Conference" registration - Use this registration if you have a lot of TBD (to be determined) students.
