MCAA Members Will Vote on Proposed Bylaws Changes at MCAA26

At its July 18–19, 2025 meeting, the MCAA Board of Directors reviewed and advanced a series of proposed bylaws changes designed to modernize membership classifications and ensure the long‑term sustainability of Association funding. MCAA members will be voting on these changes at MCAA26.

The proposed amendments address two key areas of the Bylaws—Article V (Membership) and Article VI (Dues)—and reflect the Board’s ongoing commitment to aligning MCAA governance with the evolving structure and needs of the mechanical contracting industry.

If approved by the membership, the changes mean that:

• All contractor members will now have to be signatory to a labor agreement with the UA. This has always been the practice, now made official by inclusion in the bylaws.
• The MCAA BoD may now elect to have a second and final deferment of the dues increase of $0.01 every three years. The next dues increase is now scheduled for January 1, 2028. 
• January 1, 2027 the maximum hours on which dues are payable will go from 300,000 per branch office to 350,000.
• January 1, 2029 the maximum hours on which dues are payable will go from 350,000 per branch office to 400,000.
• The new M/S membership structure.

The voting will take place during the Annual Business Meeting on Thursday, March 19, 2026.
