Concrete Consortium, is offering a one-day training program. This training
covers the benefits of quality assurance for concrete pavement construction and
how it can be used to increase the longevity of concrete pavements. The
training will emphasize that everyone, regardless of their role, affects the
overall quality of pavement.

CPAM held its annual membership meeting and luncheon on Friday, December 9, 2011, at Jimmy's Conference and Catering Center in Vadnais Heights, Minnesota.
The meeting was well attended, with more than 90 registered guests. Margaret Donahoe, Executive Director of The Minnesota Transportation Alliance, was the guest speaker and delivered a very informative presentation on "The Future of Transportation - 2040 Roadmap."
The business portion of the meeting included the election of new board members and the passing of the gavel from CPAM 2011 President Sarah Bazey (Simplex Construction Supplies) to 2012 President Mark Bintzler (Aggregate Industries).
The event concluded with door prizes provided by CPAM material supplier members.
