TOGETHER THROUGH PROMOTION
The Mason Contractors Association of America works to promote the use of masonry products to our customers. The MCAA has spearheaded the industry-wide promotional website MasonrySystems.org, an online tool aimed at educating architects, specifiers, and planners on the benefits of building with masonry and assisting them with the design process.

The MCAA is also actively involved in Vision 2020, a grass roots initiative to reclaim and expand the use of masonry in the construction of high-growth communities throughout the United States and Canada. The goal of Vision 2020 is to implement building ordinances and design guidelines that favor masonry.
