Registration and dinner begins at 5:15 p.m. MACC is a free-to-attend intergenerational mentoring event that encourages community members to act as career coaches and discuss their goals, career paths, and accomplishments with younger generations. This year's program features keynote speaker Joel Hilchey, the founder of The Beanstalk Project-- a youth engagement initiative to promote global citizenship, develop youth leadership, and create positive social change. A man of many talents, Hilchey is an amateur actor, singer, juggler and magician, but most importantly an inspirational speaker who talks about how you can take `intelligent risks' and find your career passion.
