MAC PAC BREAKFAST -- GRAND LUX CAFE (Palazzo)

Monday, June 7, 2021 8:30 - 10:00 AM

The purpose of MAC PAC is to help elect federal candidates to office who are pro-construction and who have a track record of working with the MCAA on industry issues. MAC PAC allows you the opportunity to have a national impact on federal elections. Contributions raised at this event go exclusively to the MAC PAC and will be used to support pro-masonry candidates in the next election cycle.

Cost: Donation required upon entry (minimum $250)

Contractor Round Table -- Las Vegas Convention Center N256

Monday, June 7, 2021 10:00 - 11:00 AM

Contractor Round Table Discussions will engage different positions within a masonry company. The group will address and discuss issues of relevance to the duties they perform. The session will have an appointed leader from within the segment. That person will initiate conversation and coordinate the time for the group. Attendees should be prepared to participate in a conversation about the issues at hand and should be willing to share best practices.

This is a great opportunity to openly discuss topics with other peers from around the country in a non-competitive atmosphere and for your company to walk away with a host of new best practices to implement in your company.
