News Story: Hanley Wood has signed a letter of intent to purchase Mason Contractors Association of America’s (MCAA) Masonry Showcase.

"We are very excited about the opportunity to work with the leading masonry association," said Tom Cindric, Director of World of Masonry. "The masonry industry has been asking for one event and this combined event would make that request a reality."

The proposed transaction means that the MCAA will hold its annual convention concurrently with the World of Masonry, which will be held January 22-25, 2008 in Las Vegas. The World of Masonry is held each year within the World of Concrete, the commercial construction industry's largest annual international event.
