IN THE WORKS
The 36th Annual TxAPA Annual Meeting was held last week at the Westin La Cantera Resort in San Antonio, Texas. As always, the meeting was extremely informative, and the attendance this year was one of the largest ever. The Technical Sessions were some of the best I have seen, not only at this conference, but at any conference I have attended during my transportation career.

In an effort to provide positive exposure for our industry, and to fend off misinformation being distributed by the concrete paving industry, TxAPA will be attending four tradeshows/conferences this month.
