MC&MCA members are invited and encouraged to participate on one or more committees. Many of our events require just a few hours of volunteer time – and it’s a great opportunity to connect with industry peers!

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE (meets monthly) 

  • The newest of the MC&MCA’s committees. Noting that the construction industry runs on its workforce it is important that management and labor work together to provide the best workforce to meet the needs of the worksite. Our labor partners provide the training needed through the apprenticeship programs offered through the unions. Recruitment and interest in the trades and in the construction field in general is a responsibility of both labor and management. This committee works to find ways to introduce and reintroduce young people, minorities, women, and others to the concrete and masonry construction industry. This includes high schools through Construct Tomorrow to hands-on shop classes for grades 6-8 in middle schools.
