MIA Accreditation Program Experiences Heavy Growth

The Marble Institute of America’s (MIA) Accreditation Program has experienced its most active quarter of growth since the program’s first three months in existence, According to a recent release by the association. Activity in the commercial arena has been especially encouraging and is a sign that the economic conditions that ravaged the industry over the past several years are receding.

“Following an extremely positive StonExpo/Marmomacc Americas, we knew that it was time to ramp up our recruitment efforts for the Accreditation Program,” said Jon Lancto of Surface Products and chairman of the Accreditation Commision. “We had been hearing for several years that the economic climate was just not right to push a credentialing program. Many MIA members are looking for 2013 to be the year they become accredited.”

The MIA offers a free webinar to interested parties explaining what its accreditation program entails.
