THE VOICE OF THE MASON CONTRACTOR: A PORTRAIT OF MCAA
FIFTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, THE MASON CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA (MCAA) WAS FORMED to represent mason contractors at the national level. The concept was clear: mason contractors needed a driving force to secure positive outcomes with legislation, negotiate with the unions, and pave the way for a better tomorrow.
"Although we still have international agreements and we deal specifically with the laborers' union who we have a very close working relationship with our focus is completely different," says Michael Adelizzi, Executive Director of MCAA. "Our focus is now on promoting and advocating the use of masonry materials, products and masonry systems, and regulatory issues."
While the industry has changed over the years, MCAA has taken a proactive stance across the board in protecting mason contractors and their businesses.
