Service on the Board of Directors of the Michigan Recycling Coalition (MRC) is both an honor and a privilege, carrying with it implicit duties, responsibilities, and commitments. The role of a board member is to ensure that the mission of the MRC is carried out. Board members will assist officers in overseeing the health and direction of the MRC and agree to work with other board members as a team player, dedicated to the overall well-being of the Coalition as the primary objective. They serve as a resource of knowledge and council to the executive office, committees, and other board members and respect and support staff in carrying out the direction of the Board.
