'81 MCAA Conference Will Again Emphasize Educational Sessions
Thanks to this years's educational success story in Dallas, the '81 MCAA International Masonry Conference & Educational Trade Show will again feature a program of outstanding educational sessions with knowledgeable speakers from the masonry industry as well as government and related professions. The overwhelmingly positive response by those attending the '80 Conference reaffirmed MCAA's dedication to strong, informational type meetings and workshops that stress individual participation. The MCAA officers and staff have already begun the groundwork to develop these types of positive programs that will be presented at the '81 Conference scheduled for Reno. Nevada, February 26-March 3, at the MGM Grand Hotel. Pictured here is a typical workshop from the Dallas Conference, featuring James Richardson of the International Bricklayers Union and Leo Nazdin (seated at right) of the International Laborers Union as lecturers.
