The goal of the annual DIL project is to broaden participants’ understanding of the ready mixed concrete industry at a national and strategic level while also giving them the opportunity to work on a diverse team with members from across the country. This peer-centric program, with its accompanying industry mentorship, encourages participants to make lifelong, career friends as they gain insight into a specific industry-specific, national challenge. The collective group will start its work in the next month, meet face to face during NRMCA’s ConcreteWorks, September 18-22, in San Antonio, and present its findings at NRMCA’s annual convention in March 2016 at a membership meeting.
