MCAA Accepting Masonry Hall of Fame Nominations

Words: Dan KamysBy Tim O’Toole The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) is now accepting nominations for the 2016 Masonry Hall of Fame class. The Masonry Hall of Fame was created to recognize and award those individuals who have dedicated their lives to the masonry industry. Do you know someone who has dedicated their life to the masonry industry? If so, nominate him to be part of the inaugural Masonry Hall of Fame class. Nominees must have had a major impact on the masonry industry, not necessarily with just the MCAA, and must have been or be in the industry for a minimum of 25 years. Nominees can be but are not limited to contractors, employees, instructors, architects, engineers, and association staff. Nominations are open to anyone in the masonry industry. Submissions must state the significant accomplishments of the individual nominee. Nominations will be reviewed by the Hall of Fame judging panel including:
  • Executive Officers (4)
  • 1 Regional Vice President (rotated annually)
  • 1 Committee Chair (rotated annually)
  • 1 at large member (rotated annually)
  • President/CEO
Any nominee must receive 6 of the 8 eligible votes in order to be accepted into the Hall of Fame. Nominations will be accepted until Saturday, November 1, 2015, at 11:59 PM CDT. Nominees accepted into the Hall of Fame will be inducted during the MCAA Convention. Visit www.masoncontractors.org/hall-of-fame to submit your nomination.
