Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

TXAPA held it's annual Strategic Planning Session Feb. 24-26 at the Hyatt Hill Country in San Antonio, Texas. This important meeting included the Board of Directors, Past Presidents and Committee Chairs. The purpose of the SPS is to meet and discuss the direction of the association for the year.

One of the main focuses for this year was committees and committee activities. It is important to have active committees and even more important for members to join these committees. President Cayetano Silva, III, along with the board of directors and TXAPA staff reviewed each of the association's committees. After careful review, some of the committees were joined together to maximize the productivity of the committee.

The Current Committees Are:
  1. Aggregates, Soils and Base Committee

  2. Associate Member Advisory Committee

  3. Environmental Health and Safety Committee

  4. Level 2 Mix Design Committee

  5. Major Associate Member Advisory Committee

  6. Marketing and Membership Committee

  7. Quality Paving, New Technology and Local Awards Committee

  8. Ron Flanagan Education, Scholarship and Research Auction Committee

  9. Seal Coat Committee

  10. Specification and Test Procedure Committee

  11. Testing Laboratories Sub-Committee

  12. Training and Education Committee

Each committee has a Chair person, a Board of Director and a TXAPA staff person assigned to the committee. At the SPS, the committees were broken down into groups to discuss 2016 goals. Each group was then asked to come up with the top five priorities for the year. Then the top five were broken down to the top three. These top three goals for each committee will be worked on by each individual committee.  

There was a lot of interesting discussion throughout the room as goals for 2016 were set. The SPS was very successful and TXAPA appreciates all the efforts from membership to make our association the greatest.
