Programs

The Concrete Masonry Checkoff Board accepts program idea submissions around six strategic pillars: design assistance, educating design pros, workforce development, marketing, codes and standards and finally, research.

Promote masonry to high-value audiences (through advertising, public relations, etc.) to impact perceptions and decision-making.

Advance the competitive position of masonry through improvements to building codes and standards.

Create partnerships with colleges and universities to cultivate future designers and construction managers.

Ensure every region has trained labor to meet increased demand for concrete block units through local partnerships with MCAA and IMI.

Directly connect with designers and influencers, educating them on masonry’s strengths and use.

Provide free services to support architects and engineers to offset their limited margins and resources.
