MET's helpers (2018)


MET is a peer-training association run entirely by volunteers who have generously offered their time and expertise over the years and contributed to MET's success. We cannot possibly list everyone who has helped since MET held its first conference back in 2005, but we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge everyone who has jumped on board for 2018. Do you belong to this list? Drop us a line and we'll add your name. To view our helpers from previous years, click on these links for 2016 and 2017.
