EIMA Mission

The EIFS Industry Members Association is a not-for-profit trade association committed to advancement and growth of the demand for EIFS by accomplishing objectives which either cannot be achieved by individual members, or those which are more efficiently carried out collectively. Specifically, EIMA supports the industry by developing consensus technical, training, installation, and design standards for use by architects, designers, code bodies and officials, and other technical associations, by monitoring and positively influencing government actions, by working to assure the long-term availability of qualified contractors, and by providing other member services as appropriate.
