Know Before You Go: Save Our Jobs, Fund Our Roads Rally
The time is now. On Wednesday, September 3, we’re coming together at the Michigan State Capitol for the Save Our Jobs, Fund Our Roads Rally—and we need every voice in the industry to be heard. Without proper road funding, Michigan’s jobs, businesses, and infrastructure future are on the line.
We’ve pulled together a Rally FAQ Sheet with everything you need to know—from the day’s agenda to parking and what to bring.
If you haven’t RSVP’d yet, don’t wait. A strong turnout is how we make the biggest impact, and your presence matters. Let’s stand united and show Lansing that our industry will not be ignored

AWARD PROGRAM INFORMATION
Every Fall, the MCA conducts an annual "Excellence in Concrete" awards program which honors outstanding concrete projects that were constructed in the previous year. Concrete construction projects are rated annually to determine the best projects designed and constructed or restored during the past year.
The MCA Awards Program is intended to encourage high-quality workmanship in every concrete project. This program recognizes the contractor, project owner, and engineer (where appropriate).
The award plaques are presented at the annual workshop and conference typically held in February each year.
This meeting is open to MCA Ready Mix Producer Member Company Employees only. It is an excellent opportunity to get together with other ready-mix producers across the state to network and discuss the issues that are top of mind for today's ready-mix concrete producers.
Please fill out the form to RSVP to attend. Hope to see you there!
