MIA Joins Forces with Coverings

CLEVELAND – The Marble Institute of America (MIA) will serve as a co-sponsor of Coverings 2004, scheduled for Orlando, Fla., from March 23 – March 26, 2004.
The MIA will develop educational sessions related to the stone industry for Coverings’ conference program, as well as assist with the 2004 Prism Awards relating to the use of natural-stone products in residential and commercial projects.
Coverings will also sponsor a series of MIA-developed instructional CD-ROMs, designed to expand and increase the level of competency in the fabrication and installation of natural stone.
“We are very pleased to have been asked to be a co-sponsor of Coverings,” says Garis F. Distelhorst, MIA executive vice president. “We look forward to providing a high level of educational programming for the show and to strengthening the awards competition by opening it up to architects who use natural stone to enhance the beauty and value of their projects.”
