Welcome to fresh beginnings and my sincere hope, all of you enjoyed the holidays and your families! World of Concrete 2020 is quickly upon us and with it, a special time to not only start a new year but also a decade.

Times, technology, ways of conducting business, workforces and equipment are changing ever faster. What a great time to make the investment and join your peers at WOC! It is an opportunity to meet others with similar issues and objectives, take advantage of continuing education and see innovation first hand.

Our Board Meeting will be held at the Vdara Hotel, on Monday, 3rd of February beginning at 1: 00 pm. Should you like to be a guest and observe what your board is trying to accomplish, please join us. Our winter social gathering for the entire Association will be held on Tuesday evening starting @ 6:00 pm, held once more at the Hard Rock Café @ The Strip.  It is a chance to meet with our directors, long-time acquaintances and make new ones with other members you may not know.

Many of may not know it but, there are members from our CFA, which donate their time and resources to participate on committee’s within the American Concrete Institute (ACI)!  They are helping not only the CFA but our industry as well. This member benefit can be a help in your businesses. Many of these people are on the board and will be attending the social along with being available throughout the wee at CFA’s WOC booth #C4603.

I also would like everyone to know , we at the Board level, will be working overtime at the Winter meeting. We will be spending time with a hired consultant in an effort to boost membership. We are hoping to attract more members to help us continue to be sustainable, a valuable service to you, our membership and a formidable.

Please let your opinions be heard, if you have any ideas or questions regarding the process or would like to participate..

Best wishes for your companies’ success in the New Decade!

Respectfully,

Phillip Marone
