This year the SMA will be adding two educational classes to go beyond the LIVE floor show. These classes are essentially part of the “new” SMA Training/Certification Program that was launched in 2020 and getting rave reviews from the industry. Certification and Education is the key to doing the work correctly and promoting stucco and your products. All to increase market share.
