There are many benefits and services available to members of the Association. For a modest annual investment, you can receive the full benefits of Association membership while helping to strengthen the state's concrete industry. Please review the following list for an overview of the many services and benefits available through the MCA.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN?

Much of the work performed by the Michigan Concrete Association (MCA) benefits the entire industry, whether or not you're a member. So why should you join? Plenty of reasons:

1. A stronger industry - Our ability to promote and serve the industry hinges on the support we get from our members. The more members we have, the stronger our financial base, and the better we can meet the industry's needs.
2. A unified voice - As our membership increases, so does our effectiveness at presenting the industry's position on legislative and regulatory issues. The entire industry acting together has far more influence than hundreds of companies acting separately.
3. An information clearinghouse - There are only 24 hours in a day. After running your business, how much time do you have left over to keep up with all the developments that could affect your decisions tomorrow? The MCA is a clearinghouse of information about the industry. We sift through what's new and tell you what's important.
4. Networking - Collectively, the MCA's membership knows everything there is to know about the concrete industry. When you belong to the MCA, you have access to all of that knowledge through events and programs that give you an opportunity to pick the brains of other industry leaders.
