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. Two segments we expect to add members at a higher percentage in the next few years are restoration and the quarry/producer segments. 2015 Initiatives / Goals.

NOTE: In February 2015, Revista Rochas de Qualidade (Quality Rocks Magazine) – a leading stone trade magazine in Brazil – conducted an interview with MIA president Dan Rea. The interview showcased the leadership being offered by the MIA and the importance to the Brazilian stone market.
