New Leaders Needed!

Do you live in the Mordecai Community? Do you feel that our community coalition is important?  Please consider getting involved with the MCAC.

We have a great organization and a strong group of volunteers, but we must elect new co-chairs to continue our monthly meetings. There will be further meetings until we elect new co-chairs.

The co-chairs serve a one or two year term. Elections typically take place in January. The co-chairs plan monthly meetings and agendas, lead the meetings, and attend all MCAC functions. 

We also need a chairperson or a small committee that will head up our annual Lawn Party/Community Picnic  event, usually held in June at the Mordecai Historic Park.

And we'd love to bring back our Community Yard Sale Day, usually held on a Saturday in May.  

Leaders must be active on our Slack workspace and communicate regularly with other CAC officers. Reach out to chair@mordecaicac.org if you are interested!

Mordecai CAC -
The KEY to Strong Community

The Mordecai CAC kept going after our February 2020 separation from the City of Raleigh CAC structure.  We reorganized and we have a new name, the Mordecai Community Action Coalition. We are still an active member of the RCAC organization, too.  

Neighbors, we hope you'll get involved.
