Who are we?
The Minnesota Lath and Plaster Bureau has promoted the industry since 1953. It is widely recognized as an education and technical spokesman for the industry. It provides services to architects, the construction community and the public on a variety of matters relating to the plastering trades.

Mission
To promote the quality, pride and professional craftsmanship of Minnesota's union plastering contractors through communication, education and information.

Purpose of this site
This site is an extension of what we do. The Bureau has always been known as a clearinghouse for information. By virtue of today's Internet medium we hope to provide the best resources available on lath and plaster.

The Board of Directors
The Minnesota Lath and Plaster Bureau holds a Directors meeting on a monthly basis. The Board of Directors is comprised of lathing and plastering contractor employers, signatory to union collective bargaining agreements entered into by the Minnesota Drywall and Plaster Association (MDPA). Directors are appointed by MDPA and hold voting rights for a term of one year until successors are elected. The entire direction and management of the affairs of the Bureau is vested in the Board of Directors. Union officials representing Lather's Union Locals, Plastering Union Locals and Plaster Tender Locals, also serve in an advisory capacity.
