New Additions to Member Profiles

The MCAA is excited to announce several new features and additions to MCAA Member profiles. MCAA Members now have the option to include links on their profiles to several popular social networking Web sites, including Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, and YouTube. In addition, members can also include a link to an RSS feed for their companies and post the years they were established.

Two of the most exciting new features are the ability to add a company logo and project/product photos to member profiles. Each member now has the option of uploading a logo along with up to four photos of projects and/or products he would like featured on the profile.

To update your profile, visit www.masoncontractors.org/editprofile, and log in using your username and password. Once logged in, you will be able to verify the information listed on your profile and make any necessary changes.

As a member of the Mason Contractors Association of America, your company profile is available to thousands of masonry customers who visit the MCAA Web site each day, searching for mason contractors and masonry products. It is important that your profile is up-to-date with current information.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact the MCAA office at 800-536-2225.
