Let Your Voice be Heard
Don't forget to vote in the M.A.C. election

At the Missouri Athletic Club, members make the important decisions. During the past 15 years, Board members have helped implement restaurant renovations, the West expansion and Clubs within the Club (CWCs).

Governors represent the collective membership, but they won't represent your agenda if you don't vote. As a member, it's your right to dictate the future of the Club. Even if you're not a governor you can choose a representative who will make decisions you agree with. On Election Day, Thursday, May 4, head to the Club and help choose its future.
