Reinvented to address the need to increase market share for Masonry Systems in Florida with a focus exclusively on promoting and expanding the masonry market the NEW MAF has a lot to offer!

Plans to make The Masonry Association of Florida one of the strongest in the nation are well under way with a new partnership with www.masonrysystems.org  to reclaim the masonry market from alternative systems; while expanding the association's value propositions of Workforce Development, Industry support, Education, Code development, Public relations, Marketing, Market data and research and cost savings member benefits.

Who is the 'new' MAF ?
The NEW Masonry Association of Florida brings professional staff with combined experience of more than 112 years. Areas of expertise include: management strategy, market planning, industry operations, research, sales, finance, engineering, codes, standards, technical contractor services, public relations, compliance, marketing web design and development and promotional skills as the most progressive organization in the state.

What will the 'new' MAF do for me ?
You will receive organizational support that is 100% dedicated to promoting and expanding the masonry market by:

• Providing market research to its members
• Engineering support in turning key projects back to masonry
• Education of specifiers and government officials regarding the benefits and design of masonry
• Monitor and represent masonry in building code development
• Represent the Florida masonry industry through participation in trade shows, direct mail and publications

When did the MAF become 'new' ?
In the summer of 2008 the Masonry Association of Florida Board of Directors reorganized to expand to representatives of both Masonry Contractors and Producers. New by-laws, a strategic plan, and the professional staff are all part of the restructured association which reinvented itself in order to address increasing the  market share for masonry systems in Florida.
