Steven Tripp from Chaney Enterprises, Gambrills, MD, was presented with the NRMCA Promoter of the Year Award earlier this month during the association’s annual convention in Las Vegas. His efforts in recent years include a comprehensive continuing education program and promotion outreach in support of conventional and pervious concrete as well as RCC and overlays for concrete parking lots and roads. Tripp was instrumental in a Maryland DOT  fast-overlay demonstration project that resulted in several projects being converted to concrete and an approved rapid-cure concrete mix for potholes. He also led the charge in Maryland for adoption of LCCA legislation that passed the House of Delegates 128 to 9 and is well positioned for final enactment this year.

Through his efforts on behalf of his company and the industry at large, Steve has shown himself to be a true champion of ready mixed concrete. With imagination and enthusiasm, he has shared with his peers a fresh and exciting perspective on promotion, resulting in customers and specifiers that recognize enormous new possibilities for concrete construction.
