The MCAA is proud to announce that Strategic Partner, SOLA, will serve as the sole sponsor of the Masonry Hall of Fame for the second year in a row. In 2021, SOLA served as the sole sponsor of the event at the Midyear Meeting in Memphis, Tennessee. 

“We are very grateful for the opportunity to support the MCAA and its members through our sponsorship of the Hall of Fame. The individuals honored at this event are exemplary, and it is our privilege to contribute to the forum in which they are recognized,“ said Jude Nosek, Marketing Director at Keson Industries.

This continues SOLA’s previous involvement with the MCAA, which has also included being a Strategic Partner, donating levels to MCAA competitions at the World of Concrete, and being a recent Speed Dater at the MCAA’s Midyear Meeting. 

“SOLA has taken their emerging role and involvement with the MCAA’s activities seriously. We’re honored to have them sponsor again, as we both see the value in recognizing leaders within the industry,” said Jeff Buczkiewicz, MCAA President and CEO. 

As part of The Masonry Hall of Fame Presented By SOLA 2022, all social media, print, digital, and video content will be co-branded. Additionally, the Awards Ceremony and Dinner itself will feature extensive branding recognizing SOLA for their generous support of the program.
