“Masonry Contractors has three classes of membership: Contractor, Associate, and Design Professionals. Contractor members are the only voting class. Contractor Membership consists of any individual, partnership, firm, or corporation engaged in masonry construction or employing masons or laborers as their principal trade or as a subcontractor. These members are entitled to one vote. Associate Membership consists of any individual, partnership, firm, or corporation that is a material supplier/manufacturer or any other professional group that provides a service to the masonry industry. These members are without voting privileges and may not serve in any elected capacity. Design Professional Membership consists of a licensed or registered architect or engineer, an architectural or engineering firm, or an individual that is a member of a faculty at an accredited university. These members are without voting privileges and may not serve in any elected capacity.”

“The Contractor membership class elects the officers of Masonry Contractors. Each such officer holds office for a two year term or until his successor shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified for the position.”
