Staff and Board
Staff
MCRC employs six full-time and five part-time staff, including two who are certified spiritual directors. Adjunct professionals supplement these full-time employees for the spirituality programming, individual spiritual companioning, and mind/body wellness. Administrative staff provides service to guests and groups from their first call to MCRC through their final day on the campus. Maintenance, catering services and some housekeeping services are provided through a contract arrangement.
