The Mason Contractors Association of America is now accepting nominations for the 2026 Masonry Hall of Fame, brought to you on behalf of the MCAA's Cornerstone Partners. Nominations will close on March 31, 2026.

The Masonry Hall of Fame was created to recognize individuals who have dedicated their lives to the masonry industry. Inductees are business leaders who have shown a lasting commitment to advancing the trade and giving back to the industry that shaped their careers.

Nomination Criteria
To be considered for the Hall of Fame, nominees must meet the following requirements:

  • Have had a major impact on the masonry industry (not necessarily with just the MCAA)
  • Have been in the industry for a minimum of 25 years
  • Have served as a leader within their business at some point in their career
  • Cannot be a current executive officer of the MCAA

How to Nominate
Nominations must include a detailed description of the nominee's significant accomplishments. Remember, the judging panel may not be as familiar with the individual as you are, so be as thorough as possible. A high-resolution photo must be provided for each inductee's Hall of Fame plaque.

Submissions will be reviewed and voted on by the Hall of Fame Selection Committee. Nominees must receive two-thirds of the eligible votes to be accepted.

The Ceremony
Inductees will be honored at the 2026 MCAA Midyear Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, September 13-17. The Hall of Fame Reception and Dinner will take place on Wednesday, September 16 at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa.

For questions, visit midyear.masoncontractors.org or contact the MCAA at 800-536-2225.
