Staff & Volunteers
MCA’s workload is tackled by two staff members, a talented board of directors and skilled and dedicated volunteers. Our Board and volunteers give generously of their expertise and time. Working together as a team, MCA has been able to take on the many challenges that face the Agricultural Reserve and at the same time work to promote it through education and legislative initiative. MCA is also registered to provide student service learning hours to middle and high school students. Contact us to find out more!

Josh Goldman
Communications Intern Throughout middle school, high school and studies in engineering at UMD, Josh has been generous with time and talent as MCA's Communications Intern. He has provided IT support, issue advocacy, drafting and editing, photography and more. Currently he is putting the finishing touches on the online Explore Guide that he built- a map based resource for consumers, adventurers and commercial buyers seeking local commerce and adventure. Built from the ground up, the guide will provide the platform for local farms and venues to update their own information - keeping the resource evergreen. Josh received the 2016 MCA Volunteer of the Year Award, commenting that he believes that the benefits of volunteerism should be experienced by all. Alison Millman
