NRMCA Joins ACPA in Exhibiting at Recent Engineering Conference in Iowa

NRMCA’s Amanda Hult attended the National Association of County Engineers (NACE) Annual Conference in Des Moines, IA, last month, representing NRMCA as an exhibitor in the American Concrete Paving Association’s (ACPA) booth. Along with NRMCA, the concrete exhibit had representation from an ACPA chapter and surrounding state affiliates.

"We have found that our involvement in professional organizations, such as NACE, allow us a very efficient means of building relationships with customers," said John Cunningham, vice president of the Iowa Concrete Paving Association said. "Conferences allow us the opportunity to visit with decision makers in a more relaxed atmosphere. In addition, our visits have a much more candid nature. Along with helping us build personal relationships, our participation in conferences helps us show support for our customers."

"Our sponsorship and exhibit booth provide their organizations with revenue to help further their profession," Cunningham continued. "We hope to be a regular part of the world in which our customers operate. We want to understand their challenges and show them that we want to help them meet their goals. Participating in conferences gives us the chance to learn about the challenges that they must meet and we also get the benefit of spending time with them away from their offices."

Hult said hundreds of county engineers from many states across the U.S. attended the conference.
