Being Ms./Mrs. Corporate America goes beyond business and beauty. The reigning Ms./Mrs. Corporate America will be responsible for giving back to their community. In an effort to support MCA’s charity of choice during the pageant weekend, contestants are asked to bring a business suit or dress that they no longer wear. A Dress for Success representative will be present to collect the donations during the contestant orientation.
