RMC Foundation Renews Strategic Partnership With ACI Foundation

Earlier this month, the leadership of the Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC) Research & Education Foundation and that of the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Foundation signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement renewing their joint commitment to support the concrete industry and, by extension, the general public. The Agreement reiterated that the two organizations would work together to "identify research and educational needs, collaborate on funding and administration of projects, and maximize industry resources by avoiding duplication of work."

In addition, the Agreement also outlined roles for the two organizations, including that both organizations will help to identify potential research and educational proposals that may be jointly funded, or more appropriate for the other organization to fund, keeping in mind each Foundation’s respective guidelines and criteria. Both organizations also agreed to assist with the dissemination of new research and information to their respective network of organizations and individuals.

The Agreement is similar to one signed between RMC and the Charles Pankow Foundation in May 2014.
