World of Concrete 2025—Una atmósfera eléctrica
De Trenton Baty, Director de membresía y marketing
La Concrete Foundations Association (CFA) comenzó el año satisfactoriamente, con una exitosa presencia en el World of Concrete (WOC), nuestro primer gran evento bajo la nueva dirección de AOE. Nuestro puesto fue un punto de referencia de la actividad, proporcionando una oportunidad para volver a conectar con los miembros de toda la vida, mientras que también dio la bienvenida a nuevas caras en nuestra comunidad. Las interesantes conversaciones y la valiosa creación de contactos ayudaron a fortalecer las relaciones en el sector y a ampliar el alcance de la CFA.
La vida en el puesto de la CFA fue muy emocionante. Desde el momento en que se abrieron las puertas hubo un zumbido constante de conversaciones. Fue un espacio acogedor en el que tuvimos la oportunidad de dar a conocer a nuevas personas en qué consiste la CFA: nuestra misión, recursos, apoyo y la sólida red de contactos que ofrecemos a los profesionales de los cimientos. ¡Surgieron muchas conversaciones de nuestro puesto porque tenía una de las pocas zonas para sentarse del pabellón de la convención! Conocer a nuevos miembros y relacionarse con compañeros del sector reforzó la solidez de nuestra comunidad, y los debates sobre los retos y las innovaciones del sector originaron valiosas conversaciones que ayudarán a dar forma al futuro de la CFA.
Hay que dar las gracias especialmente a todos los miembros de la Junta que acudieron al puesto a lo largo de la semana. Los dos primeros días fueron los más concurridos, especialmente el martes, ya que nuestro Director ejecutivo impartía uno de nuestros cursos de certificación y formación. Este curso también contó con una gran asistencia y fue un gran éxito para continuar con nuestras oportunidades de formación en el WOC.
Los momentos más destacados de la semana fueron la reunión del Consejo de asociaciones nacionales de la CFA y la reunión de la Junta Directiva de la CFA, en las que se enfatizó en nuestro compromiso con la colaboración, la planificación estratégica y el liderazgo continuado en el sector. Sin embargo, uno de los momentos más memorables fue la Foundation Contractors’ Night en The Strat. El evento fue un éxito enorme, casi batiendo nuestros récords de asistencia de años anteriores. Esta noche no solo contó con algunas de las mejores comidas y vistas de Las Vegas, sino que el evento sirvió como una gran presentación de la CFA para muchos. Varios de los invitados que asistieron se mostraron deseosos de unirse a nuestra Asociación tras las conversaciones y relaciones que allí se establecieron. Esta noche especial no solo reforzó el fuerte sentido de comunidad dentro de la CFA, sino que también sirvió como el inicio perfecto para las celebraciones de nuestro 50 aniversario, estableciendo el tono para un año emocionante por delante.
En general, World of Concrete 2025 no solo fue un evento exitoso para la CFA, sino que también fue una gran entrada en la Asociación para mí. Desde un punto de vista profesional, fue inspirador ser testigo de la fuerza de nuestra comunidad, participar en conversaciones impactantes y ver de primera fuente cómo nuestra asociación continúa impulsando la industria. Las conexiones establecidas y los conocimientos obtenidos de los miembros, socios y compañeros darán forma, sin duda, a nuestros esfuerzos en el próximo año. Personalmente, fue un recordatorio de por qué estoy tan emocionado de formar parte del equipo de la CFA: la camaradería, las experiencias compartidas y el espíritu colectivo para favorecer el éxito mutuo. La energía, la emoción y las conexiones significativas de este evento me han dejado motivado y optimista sobre el futuro de la CFA y la increíble comunidad que continuamos construyendo juntos.
World of Concrete 2025—An Electric Atmosphere
By Trenton Baty, Membership & Marketing Director
The Concrete Foundations Association (CFA) started the year on a high note with a successful presence at World of Concrete (WOC), our first major event under AOE’s new management. Our booth was a focal point of activity, providing an opportunity to reconnect with long-standing members while also welcoming new faces into our community. Engaging conversations and valuable networking helped strengthen industry relationships and expand CFA’s reach.
Life in the CFA booth was nothing short of exciting. From the minute the doors opened there was a constant buzz of conversation. It was a welcoming space where we had the chance to introduce new people to what CFA is all about—our mission, resources, advocacy and the strong network we offer to foundation professionals. Many conversations stemmed from our booth having one of the few seating areas in the convention hall! Meeting new members and engaging with industry peers reinforced the strength of our community, and discussions about industry challenges and innovations sparked valuable conversations that will help shape the future of CFA.
Special thanks are needed to all the Board Members that stepped into the booth throughout the week. The first two days were the busiest, especially Tuesday, as our Executive Director was teaching one of our certification and education courses. This, too, had a strong turnout and was a big success continuing our education opportunities at WOC.
Key highlights of the week were the CFA National Associations Council Meeting and the CFA Board Meeting, both of which emphasized our commitment to collaboration, strategic planning, and continued industry leadership. However, one of the most memorable moments was Foundation Contractors’ Night at The Strat. The event was an overwhelming success, nearly beating our attendance records from previous years. This night didn’t just have some of the best food and views in Las Vegas, but the event served as a great introduction to CFA for many. Several guests in attendance were eager to join our Association after the conversations and relationships formed there. This special night not only reinforced the strong sense of community within CFA but also served as the perfect kickoff to our 50th-anniversary celebrations, setting the tone for an exciting year ahead.
Overall, World of Concrete 2025 was not just a successful event for CFA but was also a great entry into the Association for me. From a professional standpoint, it was inspiring to witness the strength of our community, engage in impactful conversations, and see firsthand how our association continues to drive the industry forward. The connections made and the insights gained from members, partners, and peers will undoubtedly shape our efforts in the year ahead. Personally, it was a reminder of why I’m so excited to be part of the CFA team—the camaraderie, the shared experiences and the collective drive to support one another’s success. The energy, excitement and meaningful connections from this event have left me motivated and optimistic about the future of CFA and the incredible community we continue to build together.

Why Membership Matters
By Scott Renfroe – foundationbuilders.com
“Critical Technical Responses” – We recently completed a large commercial foundation project for a repeat customer. The General Contractor values our expertise and quality but had concerns about this project because his buyers, who are engineers, questioned whether the foundation should have been poured in cold weather and questioned if it should be torn out and repoured due to the potential irreparable damage likely caused by the freezing cold. We follow weather forecasts closely and set pour times; use blankets; and change concrete mixes or add chemicals based on forecasts.
Unfortunately, almost everything raised the buyers’ concerns. The weekend had a drastic drop in temperatures beginning at 32˚F and dropping into single digits overnight, Snowfall was also greater than predicted. We ordered and poured a 4000-psi Type IL mix with 20% fly ash. We requested accelerators but failed to confirm on site and found out the following Monday that the concrete had zero accelerators. Our crew failed to blanket the walls, too. Immediately, concerns arose about damaged concrete and concrete not attaining design strength.
I remembered our ability to access “Technical Support,” the investment the Concrete Foundations Association had made decades ago for cold weather research. My ability to make a phone call to our headquarters, to be directed to the mobile phone of our Executive Director, James Baty, and his prompt response to my urgent voicemail led to discussions with the General Contractor and buyer that were equipped with technical details and a plan to monitor and test the concrete strength. The next day, we had an application letter from CFA addressing the entire issue based on the research principles our Association had established. This went a long way in easing early concerns from the customers and engineers.
Our customer was moving in the direction of a tear-out and replacement of the foundation, an error that would have cost us a minimum of $250,000. Instead, we were able to proceed, relying on the “technical competency” of our network. The information from CFA easily paid for past and future membership dues. Our team now better recognizes the best practices and the planning adjustments we need to make when weather catches us by surprise. We also realize, that were it not for our status as CFA Concrete Pros, members of this Association with access to other professionals and our reliable staff, this might have turned out much differently. My dad knew this a long time before, and I’ve come to know it myself. Now we all believe it!

Building Back Better: The Case for Concrete Homes
By Joe Nasvik
The recent fires in Los Angeles have resulted in the largest amount of fire damage the country has ever seen. For so many people, life went from normal to one of complete despair in the matter of just a few hours. Homes of all kinds—modern and traditional designs; new and old; homes with stucco siding; homes with clay tile and steel roofs; small and big—all burned to the ground leaving people without homes or possessions. Over time, investigation will uncover many contributing factors, but without a doubt the two leading causes for the fires were lack of rain in the LA basin over the past year and the up-to-100 mile-per-hour Santa Ana winds with only 3% humidity that fueled the fires and made firefighting nearly impossible. The other key factor is the fact that the destroyed homes were built with combustible materials.
Whether or not you personally believe in global warming or whether or not you think it is caused by man, it’s a fact that the world climate is changing, and global temperatures are rising. With over half a million years of weather history collected, the scientific research has demonstrated the link between carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air and atmospheric temperature; when CO2 levels in the air rise, so does the atmospheric temperature, and when they drop so does the temperature. The question remaining is where the CO2 is created. With the increasing amount of heat energy in the atmosphere, weather will continue to become more extreme, and our building structures will have to become more robust as a result.
When Los Angeles is ready to rebuild, there will be updated building codes designed to offer better protection in the event of fires. For the sake of those who died and for those who lost everything, it’s time for building codes to require all new homes to be constructed with non-combustible materials, or at the very least that buildings remain structurally sound for an hour or more in a fire environment. The City of Los Angeles’ building code will probably mandate things as house designs that don’t trap burning embers during wind events, the reduction of burnable landscape materials around homes and changes to water systems. Narrow streets will likely also be widened so that vehicles leaving an area won’t interfere with emergency vehicles going the other way. Building code upgrades will probably also require that buildings be designed to resist stronger wind forces and violent weather in recognition of climate change.
The shift to non-combustible building materials will not be easy. Historically the US has been blessed with large forests, so we became a wood-built culture with large trained labor forces to build wood-frame structures. However, this isn’t the case for many other countries in the world where timber is scarce. In those places, concrete is the leading building material. Florida builds more concrete homes than any other state because of hurricane damage, flooding, termite damage and a climate that encourages wood decay.
Concrete Houses
The push for concrete in the US has a long history. In 1908, Thomas Edison filed for a patient for the construction of concrete homes. He developed cast iron forms that were assembled to build an entire house in one concrete placement. An opening was left at the top of the roof for concrete to move into the forms. He also developed a flowable mix so that the concrete would flow down to the bottom of the house and to all parts of the formwork. Afterward, the forms were unbolted and moved to the next house. He built only a few houses in New Jersey and Gary, Indiana, but some of them are still in use today. 
Architects such as Tadao Ando and Frank Lloyd Wright designed high-end, modern-looking and sleek homes for wealthy buyers. Ando designed a beachfront home in Malibu, California, that was built in 2013 and survived the Palisades fire.
It would be great if concrete could be regarded as “fireproof,” but it is more accurate to say that it is “fire resistant.” Nothing is fireproof because everything depends on the amount of time something is exposed to heat and the amount of heat involved. This relationship with concrete will be described more fully in the next article in this series.
Concrete homes can be designed, engineered and built to resist hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, floods and earthquakes. They can protect inhabitants from trees that fall on houses and flying debris. Concrete homes are resilient because they can survive disasters without needing to be rebuilt. In succeeding articles, the following will be addressed:
- How concrete homes perform in fires
- How engineers design concrete homes to resist increasing natural disasters
- Different concrete home building methods and their associated costs
- Their resiliency compared to the carbon dioxide created in the building process
- Information about the process of developing and changing building codes
- How home insurance companies view concrete homes
The road ahead for rebuilding Los Angeles and dealing with a monumental number of toxic debris will be long and stressful. Let’s hope their decisions will be for the good of everyone.
How Do You Define Stability in Your Concrete Business?
By Bill Humbert, www.RecruiterGuy.com
Our country is evolving—shifting perspectives, adjusting immigration policies, and even reshaping the size of our government. As with any transformation, there will be resistance and unforeseen consequences. Some of these changes may positively impact your business, while others may present challenges. This article isn’t meant to alarm you but spark critical thinking about how these shifts could affect your concrete business.
“Sometimes, I see things differently…” That’s my tagline for Letters to the Editor on my website. So, let’s take a different look at stability in business.
Is Stability About Sticking to the Same Plan?
When speaking with small business owners about strategy, I often hear:
“I know what I’m doing. My business has been successful every year! It’s as stable as a rock!”
Or, in your case, maybe “as stable as a concrete footing.”
That got me thinking—does stability mean running the same business plan year after year, regardless of market changes?
Let’s consider something important: rocks don’t grow. Over time, they erode—just look at the Grand Canyon.
What If Your Business Were an Oak Tree?
Instead of thinking of your business as a rock, what if you viewed it as an oak tree?
- Deep roots – Your experience and industry knowledge provide a strong foundation.
- Resilience – Like oak wood, your business can withstand storms and market shifts.
- Thick-skinned – The tree’s bark protects it from pests, just as your adaptability shields you from economic challenges.
- Longevity – Oak trees can live for hundreds of years. While that may not be true for you, your business can thrive for generations.
- Opportunistic growth – Oaks branch out toward the sun, sensing where to expand for maximum advantage.
The key difference? An oak tree grows and adapts. Shouldn’t your business do the same?
How Can You Branch Out in Your Concrete Business?
Consider small but impactful changes to enhance profitability without significant capital investment.
- Where can you eliminate inefficiencies and free up time?
- What parts of your business provide the highest return on effort?
- Would you be happier and more profitable running estimates or crafting a strategic growth plan?
- If estimating takes too much of your marketing/selling time, would it be wiser to hire an estimator? You could be growing your business while your estimator is sharpening their pencil.
Since launching my business in 1990, I’ve continually adapted. I didn’t just stick to what worked—I branched out. Here’s how I diversified my income:
- Authoring books – I’ve written three career search books and actively promoted their sales.
- Speaking internationally – I took a risk, delivering talks on The Power of Proper Goal Setting across three continents.
- Expanding my expertise – My upcoming fourth book will generate additional income through back-of-room sales.
I also invested in a coach to help me strategize and execute these new opportunities successfully.
The Only Constant is Change—How Will You Respond?
We can’t control broad cultural and economic changes—but we can control how we respond. The most successful business leaders don’t just weather the storm; they adapt, grow, and outpace the competition.
I’d love to hear about your challenges. Let’s have a conversation, explore new possibilities, and build a stronger, more resilient path forward for your business.

Kicking Off a Major Anniversary
James Baty jbaty@cfaconcretepros.org
Congratulations! That is to say, congratulations to those reading this article, knowing that you and your company are members of the Concrete Foundations Association, an organization that turns its golden anniversary in 2025. Fifty years of existence is an impressive mark. Looking back on those fifty years reveals the staggering perseverance, endurance, patience, and tenacious leadership that has led usto this point. However, the hurdles our members have overcome are not the most primary points to be made today. It is the vision of what is to come that I wish to consider.
I also want to extend congratulations to those of you reading this magazine who are on your way to making what I believe to be the most important decision of your company’s future: CFA membership. I am aware it may be cliché to pitch membership as an important opportunity (I recently spent time with executives from contracting companies touring member facilities and projects and enjoying the networking surrounding the CFA Executive Retreats)—yet I am convinced of its intrinsic value.
As 2025 kicks off, the CFA embarks on a mission to make this year of celebration the next in a progression of great evolutions and advancements. The pinnacle event will once again be the Convention, CFACON25 (July 17–19), booked for Deadwood, South Dakota, in the heart of so much rich U.S. history and the magnificent Western identity. Linking us to that moment will be World of Concrete in Las Vegas, again accompanied with Foundation Contractors’ Night (see the promo on page __), the next Executive Retreat in Salt Lake City (April), and a host of Best Practice Group networking sessions. These are the events that have become staples in the business acumen of CFA members leading their respective industries.
Our 50th anniversary is an appropriate time to express gratitude for the passion and leadership that has marked each of the more than fifty years that has made the CFA’s success possible. There were a few years of formation, minds getting together and determining that this organization needed to exist. Then there was the challenge of the initial years, crafting what members could receive. There were the growing years, as more and more were invited to participate, enriching their own experience as well as that of those who were already enjoying membership. Fifty years has spanned four executive directors: Bob Sawyer, memorialized in the top CFA honor award, Roger Nielsen, and Ed Sauter, my predecessor, who continues to deserve the greatest recognition for the vision that is the modern CFA. To these leaders, the current members, and the future generations to be impacted by professional cast-in-place contractors and this organization, this season of celebration begins. Come and join!
Board of Directors Announce New Management for Association and Celebration Strategies for 50th Anniversary
Mount Vernon, IA (date) – The Concrete Foundations Association (CFA) Board of Directors has announced a management change for the organization, which coincides with its 50th anniversary.
Beginning Jan. 1, 2025, CFA will be managed by the AOE Team – an association management and marketing consulting firm with headquarters in Farmington Hills, Mich., after more than three decades of leadership by Sauter and Baty of Mount Vernon, Iowa.
“A lot of work has gone into this moment,” states Sean Smith, current CFA Board President. “The leadership of Ed Sauter, James Baty, and many fine staff members during the last 30-plus years has seen this Association through unprecedented times. We celebrate the many achievements and the richness of culture that has evolved over the years and thank SB2 for their management and the resulting success of our organization.”
After an intense search this fall, the Board of Directors selected the AOE Team as the right organization to help CFA celebrate the significant benchmark of 50 years of operation, laying the foundation for growth in membership and the market for the next 50 years. With roots dating back to the early 1990s, the AOE team pulls from a team of more than 70 professionals with expertise in association management, marketing, public relations, strategic planning, membership, certification, administrative and other functions for those in the design and construction industry. James Baty, current Executive Director of CFA, will stay with the Association and join the AOE team.
“I am excited to continue to serve the poured wall basement industry as a member of the AOE Team,” said Baty. “Their expertise in the concrete industry and linkage to many of our fellow associations will only strengthen what we can provide the CFA membership.”
Smith noted that the current membership benefits will be maintained throughout this transition.
“Our transition team has solidified a great start to our 50th anniversary milestone beginning with Foundation Contractors’ Night during World of Concrete 2025,” said Smith.
Other major events this year include CFA’s Executive Retreat in Salt Lake City, Utah April 14-16, 2025, and CFACON25 – Concrete Foundations Convention in Deadwood, South Dakota, July 17-19, 2025.
A 48-year co-sponsor of the World of Concrete, CFA will again be positioned prominently in the Central exhibit hall at #C4605 where members can stop by, order their selection of 50th-anniversary apparel and catch up with Association leadership. CFA will offer both the ACI/CFA Residential Foundation Technician Certification and the comprehensive Wall Foreman Qualification track for education. The “big party” — Foundation Contractors’ Night – will be held at The Strat on Tuesday, Jan. 21 from 6:30 to 9:30 pm.
“Networking continues to be the main focus of the Association in today’s context,” states Baty. “What begins at Foundation Contractors Night will continue for the few dozen executives that decide to join the next Executive Retreat in Salt Lake City in April, getting a chance to see the record-holding, award-winning contractor, SCW Footings & Foundations, as well as new member, Jeff Dumas Construction. We then will turn fully toward the Convention in South Dakota where the biggest celebration is planned.”
For more information on the Association, the events planned for this 50th anniversary, and general inquiries toward membership or the transition, interested persons are encouraged to reach out to CFA Executive Director, James Baty, at jbaty@cfaconcretepros.org or learn more about the Concrete Foundations Association and the various education platforms and member resources such as the Wall Foreman Qualification Certificate Program by visiting www.cfaconcretepros.org or by phone at 319-895-6940.
