Reintroducing MCA's New Monthly Email Newsletter: "In The Mix" |

Mississippi Concrete Association (MCA) has been on a roll these past couple of years, being recognized as the National Ready Mix Concrete Association (NRMCA) “State Association of the Year” and me being recognized as “Promoter of the Year”. All these are great awards for MCA, but we need to have a consistent vehicle to communicate this great news to you, the MCA membership, so you will know all these great things!
We are excited to reintroduce MCA’s IN THE MIX monthly e-newsletter. The purpose of IN THE MIX is to keep you informed of what has happened around the state of Mississippi with MCA, its members, stories of interest to the concrete industry. In addition, it will provide you direct access to our events calendar, upcoming certification opportunities and more.
One other thing we are excited about is...

Waters Speaks to Rankin Rotary |
MCA Executive Director Joel Waters spoke to the Rankin county Rotary Club March 25, 2021 in Brandon, Mississippi to 12 Rotarians. Waters spoke of the new Mississippi State Law SB 2709 that gave an Insurance Discount to Developers who built Commercial Building to the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) Fortified Standards. Mississippi was the 2nd state national that has such legislation!
This was legislation that complimented another Mississippi State Law SB 2465 in 2018, where Homeowners will receive an insurance discount if they built to the IBHS Fortified Standard. Mississippi was the 4th state in the United States to have such legislation!
