Becoming a Member

Words: Dan KamysJoin the ONLY national association building the future for mason contractors. Don't leave your business in someone else's hands ? be a part of the association that is shaping the industry!

Can you put a value on the benefit of MCAA eliminating an OSHA regulation that requires every mason contractor to remove all materials from scaffolding at the end of every shift and then restock the scaffolding at the beginning of the next shift?

Can you put a value on the benefit of MCAA stemming the tide of an ergonomics standard that would require up to two hours of additional work breaks for employees in an eight hour shift or limits the weight that a mason can install in a day's work to 1,500 pounds?

The results of the efforts of the Mason Contractors Association of America are priceless and key to the survival of our industry and businesses. To continue our fight, the MCAA needs the support of every contractor in our industry. Join the MCAA today!

To become a member of the Mason Contractors Association of America, please contact MCAA's Director of Membership, Melissa Polivka, at (800) 536-2225, or complete an application online at www.masoncontractors.org.
