Is Your State Association a Rock Star?

The NRMCA State Association of the Year Award is presented to the association that's making significant progress for the industry in the areas of promotion, education, advocacy and/or research. The award is presented at NRMCA’s Annual Convention held in March 2026 in Las Vegas, NV. The winning state executive, as well as his/her elected official, are encouraged to attend and receive the award.

The winner is announced on NRMCA’s website and is profiled in E-NEWS and Concrete InFocus magazine as well as in a press release to the industry. The nomination should highlight the association’s efforts and successes in concrete promotion, education (both within the industry and to client/customer base), advocacy and research as well as any other outstanding achievements. Particularly, the nomination should identify areas in which the state association has partnered with NRMCA and/or utilized NRMCA programs. Applicants are also asked to provide budget size and number of members and staff as this information allows the judges to review each entry taking into account the resources available.

Nomination Criteria:

1. The nominee must be a state or area ready mixed concrete association. The nominee may have other areas, including aggregate or construction, as part of its function. Prior winners are eligible to participate.
2. The person making the nomination should be the state association executive or one of the association’s members. If the executive is completing the nomination, he/she must have an endorsement of the application by one of the state association’s member representatives.
3. As with most recognition awards, the more detailed information provided, the better. However, materials submitted should be limited to 1,000 words and five pieces of sample materials per section (promotion, education, advocacy, research or other).
4. Materials should be submitted electronically and must be in “standard” office software programs (.doc, .pdf, .jpg, .xls) and of a size that can be easily e-mailed.
5. NRMCA’s officers and members of the Executive Committee serve as judges for this award.
