NCMA Mission

The mission of the National Concrete Masonry Association is to advance, support and serve the common interests of its members as well as to enhance their position as industry leaders and innovators through the manufacturing, marketing and application of concrete masonry and related products and systems that are affordable, technically sound, and environmentally safe, and to meet the future needs of the market.

NCMA Convention and Masonry Expo

MASONRY EXPO, held in conjunction with the NCMA Annual Convention, is the only exposition and conference for the masonry construction industry. It's the marketplace for the best equipment, technology and services. MASONRY EXPO draws over 225 exhibitors and 5,000 attendees, including engineers, mason contractors, masonry manufacturers, paver producers, architects and educators, anxious to learn more about the products and services available.

Also held in conjunction with MASONRY EXPO are the annual conventions of the Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) and The Masonry Society (TMS). Each group conducts their own educational programs and business sessions. The eight sponsoring groups of MASONRY EXPO are: Brick Institute of America (BIA), Expanded Shale, Clay and Slate Institute (ESCSI), Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA), National Association of Brick Distributors (NABD), National Concrete Masonry Association (NCMA), National Lime Association (NLA), Portland Cement Association (PCA), and The Masonry Society (TMS).

MASONRY EXPO serves as the industry's foremost classroom presenting state-of-the-art educational seminars on a wide range of topics. Future EXPO dates are January 25-27, 1997 in Phoenix, AZ; and February 21-23, 1998 in Charlotte, NC.

Looking to the Future

We recognize the many advancements being made in the way that business in the 90's is being performed. Our presence on the World Wide Web is part of our efforts to stay abreast of new and innovative ways to communicate with our members and to receive communication from the construction industry as a whole. Much of our membership is actively involved in bettering their communications through the use of the Internet. We encourage those who have not taken advantage of this powerful tool to do so as soon as practical.
