Federated Insurance Enters Gold Tier of Masonry Alliance Program

Words: Isa Stein

Federated Insurance, a national insurance and risk management organization, joins the Gold Tier of the Masonry Alliance Program. Federated Insurance is one of just 70 companies to receive unparalleled access to the $33 billion dollar masonry industry. 

“As a current Strategic Partner, Federated Insurance is thrilled to continue our involvement with the MCAA as a Gold Partner in the Masonry Alliance Program. We look forward to continuing to serve the masonry industry with our risk management services and specialized insurance programs,” said Dave Szymanski, First Vice-President of Association Risk Management Services at Federated Insurance. 

Availability for verbal commitments in the Masonry Alliance Program is now open to any interested company. The MCAA has recently launched a dedicated website, masonryalliances.com, with full details on the program. Starting in 2024, the MAP replaces Strategic and Corporate Partnerships as the only way for active suppliers to remain involved in MCAA activities. 

"Over the years, Federated Insurance has remained a longtime strong supporter and contributor of the MCAA and MASONRY Magazine. We are excited about the opportunity to further our collaboration in 2024 through the Gold Tier of the Masonry Alliance Program,” said Todd Fredrick, MCAA Director of Development. 

The Masonry Alliance Program is broken into four tiers: Cornerstone, Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Items such as event attendance, advertising in MASONRY Magazine, sponsorships, content development, and more will no longer be available to any company outside of the 70 within this program.
