Roles

The MCAA Nominating Committee met to review candidates for MCAA office for the 2010-2012 term of office and recommends the following candidates.

Every year is filled with challenges in our businesses and personal lives, how we tackle those challenges will determine the future success or failure in our lives.

For those of you who have been through the process of serving as president of the MCAA, you understand just how mixed your emotions are at the end of your term.

One the greatest accomplishments, when reflecting on my presidency, is that of selling our trade show and becoming the primary sponsor of World of Masonry.

My message this month is a little unique as it is the first President’s Message written on foreign soil from Italy at the MCAA Industry Tour.

I am pleased to announce that, after reviewing the options, the board unanimously agreed to sell Masonry Showcase to Hanley Wood, owner of the annual World of Masonry trade show.

The Marketing Committee of the Mason Contractors Association of America is funding programs that promote masonry and will expand market share.

I recently read an article regarding certification and, although MCAA was not specifically named, many of the statements could be construed to reference the MCAA certification plan.

This year, MCAA is entering its 57th year of incorporation. The Association was established to help educate, train and represent mason contractors, and maintain the industry’s competitive edge.

The Mason Contractors Association of America is proud to announce the unanimous decision to appoint Jeff Buczkiewicz as the Association’s new Executive Director.

As a contractor, your future is inextricably tied to MCAA’s efforts, our successes and to the vital industry programs that our Association conducts.

For years, MCAA has advocated the use of quality mason contractors, so that our industry's clients could be assured that their projects would go smoothly.

Isn’t it time that you join with the other 1,000 mason contractors who have banded together to build a better industry?

I stand before you to present my very first State of the Association address and I am proud to report that our association has continued to grow at a remarkable pace.

The Association's ultimate goal is to promote the National Mason Contractor Certification program to the point where our customers specify a Certified Mason Contractor.

In May 2006, MCAA attended the signing of the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005. However, I am disturbed by a provision inserted into the final legislation.
