Announcing The Daily Digest From The MCAA

Words: Dan Kamys

Pay attention to your inbox starting Wednesday, April 8th. The MCAA is pleased to announce The Daily Digest, a selection of masonry news from around the world delivered right to you.

“I receive daily emails from several news sources, and wanted something similar for our audience. The Daily Digest is the first of many ways we are advancing the news, information, education, and entertainment we offer to the industry,” said Jeff Buczkiewicz, MCAA President and CEO.

The Daily Digest is powered by our GEORGE AI system and overseen by the MCAA team in order to provide you with a carefully-selected collection of stories. Check your email every morning during the week to get the latest scoop. Monday’s emails will recap everything you missed over the weekend as well, so you’ll never be out of the loop.

“Realistically, we could not have pulled off The Daily Digest five years ago. But with GEORGE and our team’s hard work, this became a reality very quickly. This is the next piece of the MCAA’s content evolution.” said Dan Kamys, MCAA Director of Content.

To subscribe to The Daily Digest and other MCAA emails, please create a free MCAA account.
