2008 Masonry Industry Legislative Conference

Meet key decision makers that affect regulatory and legislative issues

By Tim O’Toole

Few activities can impact the viability and profitability of our industry faster than the actions of our legislators or regulatory agencies. The Masonry Industry Legislative Conference is a unique opportunity for the masonry industry to come together in our nation's capital to meet first hand with the decision makers that affect both regulatory and legislative issues. The conference will be held May 12-14, 2008 in Washington D.C.

This three day conference is your opportunity to shape the future of the masonry industry and to impact the type of laws and regulations that come out of Washington. Prominent Senators and Congressmen will address key issues that confront the masonry industry and how the 2008 Elections will impact the current political environment in Congress. You will have an opportunity to meet personally with your elected representatives and to educate them on how these issues affect your business and the masonry industry.
