I am not sure where summer has gone, but I can tell you
things have no indication of slowing down for the asphalt pavement industry for
the foreseeable future. Between a record year for the association’s golf
tournament and a very successful luncheon and plant tour hosted by UAPA, the
APWA, and Geneva Rock Products, August was great month for all things UAPA. In
addition to the events above, I also attended a special conference for the
directors of all the state asphalt pavement associations in the country. I’m
excited to incorporate some of the ten pages worth of notes that I took into
what we are doing with UAPA. I was also pleased to learn just how far we have
come as an association within the relatively short timeframe of six full years
of existence. We’re certainly on the right track, but there is more we can and
will do!
Moving forward, I hope you will join us for our next UAPA
Lunch and Learn happening on the 21st of September at Honnen
Equipment. We should have great discussion about paving with an eye towards
quality and, as always, lunch is on us, so come out!
Looking ahead, we also have the Southern Utah Asphalt
Seminar happening on the 13th and 14th of November at the
Dixie Center in St. George. Along with the 2018 Utah Asphalt Conference (Feb,
21 -22) right around the corner!
Times are busy, but good. Stay safe. Maintain quality. And
expect the best of yourself and others and I’m confident that we will finish
this construction season just as strong as we began it a few short months ago –
we’re almost there for 2017!
