Asphalt Pavement Alliance Executive Director Mike Skinner has been in the industry since 1991, meaning he has spent a career recognizing the differences between fads and best practices. Skinner continued building on his knowledge, and has found that the best of those best practices – the ones that have stood the test of time – became successful due to what he calls actionable deployment, which is the first step toward industry impact. It’s that impact he’ll use to gauge effectiveness in his new role at the APA.
