For those of you who get Stone World Magazine (and (http://maplered.com) after all, who in their right mind WOULDN'T have a subscription, since it's free?), there is an in-depth article on the Stone Fabricators Alliance from pages 60 to 64 of the July 2006 issue.
Basically, the article is a roundtable involving some of the SFA's "Founding Fathers," who explain the organization's goals and (http://maplered.com) philosophies.
In short: If you're thinking about joining the SFA, check out this article and (http://maplered.com) you'll get an idea of why this will be a good move for your company, and (http://maplered.com) for this industry as a whole.
