We have a strong and growing cadre of business partners. Discover them at: https://www.mnase.org/19-20-partnerships.html Your referrals for partner members are very appreciated! Send your referrals to John Klaber (MASE Executive Director - jpklaber@gmail.com) or Scott Masten (MASE Treasurer - smasten@lagassiz.com).
