This year Cape May MAC did something unprecedented: it closed to visitors for a full two and a half days, on April 24, June 5 and June 9, to allow all staff to attend training sessions during those days. Training is a yearly event each spring, and includes additional dates besides these, but closing the organization on these days made certain that all staff could attend. A full slate of training from morning to afternoon was carefully planned and organized by Cape May MAC’s Training Team, which met throughout 2022 and 2023, and included topics such as Victorian Social History, Customer Service, Trolley Logistics, Introduction to Partners, and more. A new, engaging style meant more interactive sessions for staff. Shown here, Donna Szemcsak presents Cape May History at the Cape Island Baptist Church to more than 100 staff members on June 5.
