MCAA supports NCMA checkoff effort

The Concrete Masonry Checkoff program is needed to enable the industry to regain market share.
The MCAA is supporting the NCMA checkoff effort. Recently legislation was introduced into Congress to pass the bill authorizing the program. We are asking MCAA members and their employees to contact their Congressmen to voice their support for this program. A link on how to show your support is below:

Contact your representative

Please contact your representatives today as we need their support to be successful in getting the checkoff program in place. The checkoff program will bring in millions of needed dollars to support marketing efforts and research efforts for the masonry industry. Our industry needs these programs badly and competing systems have already either implemented their own checkoff programs or are working on implementing them.

Without passage of the program the masonry industry will fall further behind in our efforts to combat competing systems and win back lost market share.
