NRMCA-ASCC Paving Task Group Defines Mission, Develops Goals

A joint effort of NRMCA and the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC) met during the ASCC annual conference in Dallas last week. A large number of ready mix producers, concrete contractors and equipment suppliers were in attendance. This was the group's second meeting, following an initial informational meeting held in May. Current co-chairs of the task group are Myron Hillock with Somero Enterprises and NRMCA Senior Vice President, Local Paving, Jon Hansen.

The task group's focus is on paving for parking lots and streets and local roads. On the agenda for the Friday meeting was the group mission statement and a list of goals. The mission statement approved by majority vote is: "Support local markets in making concrete pavement the material of choice" and is supported with goals of increased market share, education, awareness building and pursuing paving opportunities jointly through partnerships with contractors and concrete suppliers.
