Richard Schreck to Turn Over Reins in Spring 2017

At the 65th Annual VAA Members Meeting held at the Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina, Richard Schreck formally announced that he would step down as Executive Vice President at the 2017 Annual Meeting. 

 

Richard has served the VAA since 1981.  Prior to joining the VAA and upon graduation from Auburn University, Richard was the Engineering Director for the Virginia Road Builders Association (now Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance).   Through his years of service, he has led the asphalt industry through many changes.  Some of the most notable changes are moving asphalt mix acceptance testing from state labs to contractor labs, migration from Marshall to SUPERPAVE™ mix designs, introducing SMA to Virginia and the U.S., and most recently the launch of VECAT to educate and train the transportation workforce.

 

Though Schreck will be stepping down, he will continue to work through the end of 2017 to insure that the transition is seamless and that the incoming Executive Vice President, Trenton Clark, has the best possible start to his new role.
