The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) is encouraging members and affiliates to take a closer look at association activities for the year by downloading the 2018 ACPA Annual Report. The 18-page report is packed full of brief descriptions and illustrations that capture many of the major activities and accomplishments for the year.
ISCP is featured on page 17 of the report as well! The link under ” carries readers to the ISCP article titled “IPRF/ACPA Successful Inaugural Summer Intern Program—Opened Vast World for Students & New Employees!”
In 2018, there was a strong emphasis on focused support of members, chapters, and agencies/owners. The report describes examples of that support in the form of ACPA’s Concrete COMPETES program (along with success examples), as well as ACPA’s new alignment with the Portland Cement Association (PCA) which includes a major push to develop and implement a comprehensive promotion plan. Many of these initiatives have come online in the past year or two, and in addition to achieving strong results on new programs and plans, the association has also maintained its focus on mainstay activities such as membership development, market measurement, and many other essential services and activities, which are woven into this comprehensive report.
The digital report also details many significant milestones and accomplishments, including the successful rollout of the cement & concrete industries’:
