GENERAL SESSIONS

The theme for this year’s meeting is Beyond the Horizon: Shape Tomorrow’s Opportunities Today. The Annual Meeting’s four general sessions reflect this theme, providing inspirational and educational subjects to help strategically expand your operations for the future while placing your company at the forefront for success now.

GENERAL SESSION I

Passing of the Gavel

OUTGO ING CHA IRMAN :

Dan Gallagher, COO, Gallagher Asphalt Corp.

I NCOMING CHA IRMAN :

Craig Parker, Executive Vice President, Silver Star Construction Co. Inc.

Keynote Speech: Never Fly Solo® — The Power of Partnership to Reach New Heights in Business and LifeSPEAKER

Lt. Col. Rob “Waldo” Waldman, Professional Business Motivational Speaker and Best-Selling Author, Never Fly Solo

Winners Never Fly Solo.® We survive solo, but we win together. Flying solo in business? You might think so. But take a good look around. You have support staff, co-workers and managers. You have suppliers, vendors, and distributors. And you have colleagues, family, and significant others. In today’s super-charged, highly competitive world of rapid and constant change, those who build trust and work as a team will dodge the missiles of business and win.

By committing yourself to excellence and placing trust in others, you can overcome obstacles, adapt to change, and break performance barriers during adverse times. By placing trust in your wingmen and by being a wingman to your clients, partners, and co-workers, there is no business mission you can’t complete!

This keynote is not about relating combat tactics to winning in business. Rather, it’s about focusing on what really matters in business — building high performance, trusting teams, and fully serving your customers and co-workers. It’s about winning with integrity in highly competitive environments through disciplined training, dedicated teamwork, and courageous leadership.

EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS

U.S. Construction Industry Talent Development ReportAs construction contractors prepare to emerge from the industry reces-sion and as Baby Boomers continue to retire at increasing rates, there is a significant need to invest in our human resources. What is the best way for your company to go about finding and retaining the best talent? How do you measure the effectiveness of training in terms of outcomes and benefits? Discover the answers to these questions and hear anecdotes from construction contractors’ talent development during this interactive presentation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS :

ÑExamine the trends, training, challenges, concerns, and innovations that have had an impact on the construction industry in the past year.

ÑUnderstand how to use these trends and strategies to guide training and development practices within your own firms.

Quantifying Pavement Rehabilitation Impacts for a Competitive AdvantageOne of the key differentiating attributes of asphalt is its speed of construction. To quantify this benefit, the Pavement Economics Committee (PEC) funded a research project. Led by Auburn University’s Department of Civil Engineering, session attendees will be introduced to the first nationally-transferable, comprehensive, and inclusive set of metrics that quantify the costs of traffic delay, work zone crashes, and interruptions to local business operations. Note: Please bring a laptop or tablet to the workshop.

ÑAcquire best practices to highlight the data’s results in order to gain a competitive advantage.

A Contractor’s Guide to SustainabilityEverywhere you look, people are talking about being more sustainable, but few people are talking about how to practically achieve this. Come learn

how sustainability has a direct impact on the asphalt industry from a national leader in sustainable pavements and a former contractor who worked daily to ensure sustainability was considered a part of corporate practice. Participants will understand how making more sustainable choices can actually improve the bottom line, what it takes to develop a sustainability program in the asphalt industry, and how to be recognized by pavement owners for making sustainable choices.

The Adventuress is a gorgeous 60-foot sailing catamaran. Her beautiful teak interior and spacious outdoor decks are sure to impress. The Adventuress is an ideal offshore yacht for private whale watching in San Diego because her wide beam makes her incredibly stable. Catamarans sail flat and do not heel like traditional monohull sailboats making for a more comfortable and relaxing offshore experience.
