I had the privilege of going to Spain in November to witness the MIA receive a Macael Award, as well as learn more about the local stone market in the Macael region. While in Spain I was asked to detail who the MIA members were and what priorities the MIA organization would be focused on in 2015. 2015 Initiatives / Goals.
