The MREA -MCS Partnership: Six Months of Growth - Excitement!
This past year , Frank Loehding , a long time Montana teacher and administrator and most recently the founder and CEO of Montana Cooperative Services (MCS) announced his retirement . In June, the Montana Rural Education Association (MREA) announced that we will be partnering with MCS to assure that the tremendous savings and purchasing options which have been provided during past years by MCS would continue for ALL Montana School Districts through this program.
After only six months, the new MREA-MCS partnership has experienced tremendous growth in exceeding all projections for growth of the program.
Although MREA is sponsoring MCS, we have continued to stress that membership in MCS and access to the purchasing options and savings provided by the program are WIDE OPEN to ALL Montana school districts large and small.
Rhonda Houston, Administrative Director specializing in Food Services, is continuing to serve MCS as sponsored by MREA and can be reached at e-mail: rhouston@mtcoop.org or phone; 406.698.4941.
All MCS programs and services can be accessed by clicking on the MCS Link in the Gold Bar (above) , and we encourage our members to watch our MREA communications (website, newsletter and state listserv ) for additional information and details about the partnership.
