Becoming a Member
We encourage faculty to become members of the MFCA. MFCA members will receive certain benefits such as links to additional resources, updated directories, and discounted admissions to MFCA events (as these expand). However, and more importantly, the strongest benefit of being a member of the MFCA will be the access that members gain to an extensive network of African-American, Hispanic American, and Native American management faculty across the nation in order to advance collegial, professional, and mentoring relationships. Institutions are also encouraged to become a MFCA sponsor in order to obtain increased exposure and to develop relationships with leading African-American, Hispanic American, and Native American management scholars. As such, partnership with the MFCA represents an excellent vehicle for faculty and student recruitment.
