Words: Bruce Starrenburg

The Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) would like to invite you to join us this January in Las Vegas for the 2019 MCAA Convention at the World of Concrete/World of Masonry.  

The MCAA Convention is the perfect opportunity for you and your company to learn and participate in many new and exciting happenings taking place at the MCAA and in our industry today, including a number of great education programs focused on helping your company maintain a competitive advantage. 

The MCAA's Masonry Skills Challenge, the MCAA's Fastest Trowel on the Block and the SPEC MIX BRICKLAYER 500® will once again take place on Wednesday during MASONRY MADNESS®. You will not want to miss these great competitions. 

The MCAA's South of 40 Committee is excited to once again offer a fun event for all guests. And don't forget the Closing Dinner where we'll induct new members into the Masonry Hall of Fame. 

We look forward to seeing you all in Las Vegas!
