Key PCA Initiatives in 2009Key PCA Initiatives in 2009 Focus Area Action

Strategic Planning Finalized and began implementation of new strategic plan focused on three areas: Market Promotion, Business Continuity (“Sustainable Profitability”) and Sustainable Development.

Renewed Focus on Consolidated concrete pavement promotion efforts of variousRenewed Focus on Pavement Promotion

Consolidated concrete pavement promotion efforts of various concrete associations under PCA

Aggressive Issue Advocacy Addressed significant climate change, air emission and infrastructure investment opportunities and challenges

Integration of Regional Promotion Resources

Merged previously quasi-independent regional market promotion organizations into PCA to facilitate coordinated efforts

Creation of Imaging and Initiated a program to convey to various audiences the superior Branding Campaign (sustainable) qualities of cement and concrete products; Launched

alongside Federal advocacy efforts
