Welcome
Welcome back to Las Vegas for the 2012 MCAA Convention at the World of Concrete/World of Masonry! The 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.
The education opportunities will be plentiful and help you get one step closer to earning your Certification. Our committees and board will meet and each of you are encouraged to attend and partcipate in these meetings. But the MCAA Convention isn't all work. We'll have plenty of time to play during the $20,000 World of Masonry Golf Outing and have unforgettable fun at the South of 40 event at Pete's Piano Bar.
Maybe the greatest aspect of the Convention is sharing our story with each other. There will be several events to catch up with old friends and make new connections like during the Opening Dinner at Maggiano's Little Italy or the Closing Dinner at Smith & Wollensky.
I have not missed a Convention in over twenty years, and each time I leave a better contractor, with more knowledge and a better ability to run our company. I can assure you that it is priceless.
This ole cowboy looks forward to seeing you at the Convention in Las Vegas! And remember, shoot for the moon and, even if you miss, you will land among the stars!
