Join your colleagues in Scottsdale, Arizona for the NAPA 2026 Annual Meeting in January to plan, network, and learn with top asphalt pavement professionals and programming designed to prepare for what's new and next. Members will gather to celebrate the nation's best road projects through NAPA Awards winners and witness the transition of leadership as the NAPA Board of Directors gavels in a new chair.
Plus, plan your itinerary around golfing opportunities, culinary experiences, and even a Jeep tour of the Sonoran Desert.
NAPA’s Quality in Construction (QIC) Awards application window closes Oct. 31, so act now to ensure your best work receives the recognition it deserves. The QIC Awards are a gateway to consideration for prestigious national awards, like the Larry H. Lemon Quality in Construction Award, which recognizes the 10 highest-scoring projects submitted for a QIC Award in the General Paving (less than 50,000 tons) category.
The projects submitted for a QIC Award are evaluated by an independent pavement engineer who assigns each project a numerical score based on how well the contractor met specifications and achieved density on the finished pavement.
Since 2012, the NAPA Research & Education Foundation has supported the families of crew members who were lost in work zone incidents through the NAPA Care Emergency Benevolent Fund. The NAPAREF Board of Trustees voted in September to raise the total amount given to recipients to $10,000.
Rieth-Riley Superintendent Jon Holman is working to make hiring practices at Rieth-Riley and companies across a host of other industries even more military friendly. “If I can get veterans plugged into these good companies, they’re going to be in a lot better position, financially and mentally, than I was when I got out,” Holman says.
"Every day, NAPA works to advance the asphalt pavement industry in many ways. These efforts are built upon a strong, strategic foundation – embedded in our ethos and the pillars of our strategic plan." NAPA President & CEO Audrey Copeland & Board Chairman Pat Nelson look into how strategy and partnerships are serving the industry and how the association plans to continue activating these initiatives in the Fall issue of NAPA Quarterly.
