Foreman Development Course at Masonry Showcase 2004 Registration Closing Soon!

Words: Melissa AguiarThe Foreman Development Course, March 21st and 22nd at Masonry Showcase, is designed to provide your key employees with the skills necessary to become effective foremen by managing both people and resources effectively. Apparently, this is an important issue to many contractors, because this course is quickly approaching its maximum enrollment capacity.

32 students are currently registered, a number that has exceeded our expectations. Due to classroom size and the curriculum, we must limit the course to 35 total students. Once the course reaches this maximum number, MCAA will decline any further registrants. Sign up now- these spots will go quickly! There will be no on-site registration for this course.
