Mt. Vernon, Iowa (November 5, 2010) — The Concrete Foundations Association (CFA) – a North American association dedicated to improving the quality and acceptance of cast-in-place concrete foundations – has announced the newest terms for its Board of Directors as well as a new President to direct its next two-year period.

During the CFA Annual Convention, held earlier this year at Chateau on the Lake in Branson, Missouri, the attending members elected Van Smith of Smith Brothers Concrete in Alden, New York to a one-year term to replace Jim Rowe of Fastrac Foundations and Neal Weiler of Weiler Walls Inc. of Denver, Pennsylvania to serve a three-year term on the Board of Directors.  In addition, Mike Hancock of Basement Contractors, Edmond, Oklahoma; Mark Saldana of Saldana Concrete, Inc., Rice, Minnesota; and Bruce Neale of Modern Foundations, Inc., Woodbine, Maryland were re-elected to the Board for three-year terms.

Also at the meeting, Tim Parrish of Cornerstone Foundations, Harrisonburg, Virginia assumed the role of CFA President, replacing Dan Bromley of ABI Corporation, Lee’s Summit, Missouri.  Parrish had previously served as chair of the CFA Promotions Committee and is currently focused on the development of historic perspective on the CFA. His plans for the Association over this next two-year period include a dedicated effort to grow the membership and strengthen the recognition of CFA as an investment for the good of your company.  Parrish becomes the 24th president in the rich history of the CFA.
