Even with a quiet and fairly non-controversial General Assembly Session, the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance (VTCA) continued to build new relationships with newly elected legislators and leadership when VTCA held its annual Lobby Day at the Virginia General Assembly. A diverse group of contractors, aggregate producers, and engineering design consultants met with 23 state legislators to advocate for critical legislative and funding priorities impacting the state’s transportation infrastructure. 

The workshop consists of an optional online half day classroom lecture and a half day Method 9 field-testing and certification. The online classroom portion is a self-paced lecture that will take about two hours and needs to be completed prior to the field session. Participants will be emailed a link to the classroom lecture after you sign up for the training.

Peter MacKenna, President and CEO of S&B Construction, was named as CEO of S&B USA, replacing Sharon Novak who is stepping down after serving in this role for the past 5 years. Lucas Lahitou, formerly Head of Origination & Structuring, was promoted to CEO of S&B USA Concessions, reporting to MacKenna. The appointments strengthen an already substantial and robust team who have positioned S&B USA as one of the premier creators of safe and innovative infrastructure solutions in the US.

VTCA’s Aggregates Program has initiated an effort to schedule as many committee meetings as possible, Aggregate events, and seminars for 2025. This effort is made to allow members to populate their calendars early and will serve to encourage increased participation and engagement in VTCA’s aggregate program.
