Next is the MCAA's Fastest Trowel on the Block competition, a very fast paced block laying competition sponsored by NCMA and Spec Mix. The second arena will also kick off with the Toughest Tender and the Spec Mix Bricklayer 500 competitions. If you have not experienced these events, they are truly a must for anyone in our industry. You will walk away with a new found love ofthe skill involved in masonry.
An added event in the area this year which will run Tuesday through Thursday is the Workforce Development and Innovation Zone positioned between the two arenas. There will be a dustless zone as a part of it, where you will see the latest technology to address the silica issue. IQ Power Tools, Pullman Ermator and the new Spec Mix Silo featuring an enhanced dust collection system will all be there. There will be other innovations in that area, including but not limited to BIM for Masonry doing demos, thin stone veneer installations, cast stone installation using new ASTM standards, a paver feature, and SAM the robot demos. Don't miss this area, as it will feature the latest and greatest technology in our industry.
Thursday will round out our week with our annual meeting, featuring more association business and important operational information. You will leave with a newfound
understanding of the industry around you. All are welcome to attend this as well.
Another new program that will be presented is a credentialing program on storm shelters. It is a five-part series, and when completed it will make attendees Credentialed Storm Shelter Installers (CSSI). This is a program that was developed to assure designers that they would have quality installations when designing their storm shelters with masonry. The new building code will be requiring storm shelters in many public buildings, which has created the need for this program.
Later that morning, there will be our contractor round table discussion group. All are welcome to attend and provide input as we discuss issues of the daily life of the mason contractors and how people from around the country address them. Later Thursday night, we will have our closing banquet and will honor our new class Hall of Fame inductees.
There will be five people inducted this year: George Miller, Rennie Tejeda, Robert Baum, Richard Lauber, and our first masonry instructor Milton Young. Be a part of this wonderful ceremony, you will enjoy hearing the journey these inductees took to get where they ended up. We hope to see you in Vegas, it will undoubtedly be a very exciting time for everyone!
