The Business Partner program is a new, two-year trial (2003 -2005) of allowing participation in some of the Council’s activities by up to ten (10) non-manufacturing firms. Eligible firms must be engaged in providing professional services to MCIC members. These services include legal, engineering, EHS consulting, tax and accounting.

Each prospective Business Partner must be nominated by an existing MCIC member who is currently engaged in a business relationship with the prospective Business Partner. Each Business Partner must then be approved by the MCIC Board of Directors. The annual participation fee for Business Partners is $5000.
