Longtime Industry Promoter Provides Key Promotion Lead to NRMCA

When longtime industry promoter Frank Kozeliski recently called NRMCA Vice President, National Resources Amy Miller, she knew he must have a hot lead. In fact, he had spoken with an engineering firm in the Las Vegas area that needed help regarding concrete parking lots and associated details. Miller took the information and made contact with the firm. Immediate questions were answered, but more importantly the firm asked for help. NRMCA’s ConcreteWorks meeting was just a month away, so plans were made for a presentation by NRMCA.

Miller's colleague, Jon Hansen, vice president, national resources, then contacted California Nevada Cement Association Executive Director Tom Tietz. Tietz knew the firm and was invited to discuss the local aspect of concrete parking lots. Collectively, Miller, Hansen and Tietz were able to discuss the correct way to design concrete parking lots, reasons an engineering firm should always design a concrete section for every project it  produces and an overview of existing concrete parking lot projects in the immediate area. There were two engineering firms present at the presentation and plans were made for continued education. One principal told Tietz, "We want to be the premier engineering firm for concrete pavement design in this market. We are looking for your help in getting us to that point."
