Meeting History

The W. K. Kellogg Foundation from 1998-2002 funded the start-up of the Mid-Atlantic Consortium (MAC). The Kellogg funding for this project ended in 2002. Now the funding source is primarily through registration fees of participants and sponsorships from industry and government. The program is developed by a steering committee from 7 land-grant universities in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, plus The Ohio State University from the Midwest region.
