On Wednesday and Thursday April 18th and 19th the MINACT, Inc. Board of Directors held their quarterly meeting in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. Also visiting was National Job Corps Association President LaVera Leonard. The board members also took a tour of the Excelsior Springs Job Corps Center. For some of the new board members, this was their first time on campus. A special recognition was also made for a recently retired member of the ESJCC staff, Navy JROTC Instructor John Beffa. In addition to the tour of the center, the board members were treated to a lunch provided by our Culinary Arts students along with center staff and some members of the community.
