MECA is a well oiled sub woofer…err, we mean machine…ah hell you know what we mean! It takes a lot of hard work from a bunch of dedicated hard working folks to keep things running around here so we thought it was only fitting to introduce everyone to the folks behind the scenes.
Get to know your the MECA leadership and judges in your area or those areas in which you travel hundreds of miles to attend.
