The ACPA Foundation made meaningful progress at last week’s Mid-Year Meeting, advancing initiatives that support research, education, and the next generation of industry leaders.
Two new grant programs approved
The Foundation approved funding for two grant programs:
- Women in Concrete Alliance, supporting growth and connection across the industry.
- Lessons Learned from SPS-2 Test Sections of the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTTP) Program, advancing valuable research insights.
Both programs reflect the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to innovation, building alliances, and a stronger future for concrete pavement.
Introducing the Emerging Leaders Certificate Program
We are also excited to share an important new initiative: the Emerging Leaders Certificate Program. Designed for young professionals and rising leaders, the program recognizes and supports growth across four core areas:
- Technical education
- Leadership development
- Philanthropic and community engagement
- Association engagement
By celebrating achievement in each area, the program helps emerging professionals build the skills, connections, and confidence to lead with impact in the concrete pavement industry.
