EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE IT’S PAVING SEASON! RICK JOHNSON Executive Director, UAPA As Utah shifts from winter to warmer spring days, the effects of snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles become evident on our roads. Spring is the perfect time to take care of existing asphalt or kick off new projects — hence, those orange cones are popping up everywhere! At UAPA, we’re committed to helping you grow both personally and professionally. We’re excited to offer new opportunities like our asphalt inspection training course, taught by industry experts and experienced UDOT professionals. Whether you’re a beginner or just need a refresher, this course is for you. We’ve already held sessions in Richfield, Duchesne, and Logan, and more classes will be available in other areas soon. We want you to know that we’re here to help. If you have specific training needs, or if your company requires focused or refresher courses, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re committed to working together to ensure your success. To help us stay better connected, we’ve invested in Growth Zone — a membership software platform designed specifically for our association. It’s a tool that makes it easier to keep in touch, update your information, and access all the benefits available to you as a member. Please log in, explore the platform, and make sure your info is current — it’s a great way to stay engaged. We’re also looking forward to our annual summer golf tournament in August! It’s always a fantastic time to connect, unwind, and enjoy some friendly competition. We hope to see many of you there! Being part of UAPA means you’re part of something bigger, and together, we’re making a difference. We’ve partnered with Warrior Rizen Ranch to support military and law enforcement families, providing them with a space to heal, find respite, and build community. We truly appreciate your support. We’re here to help, and together, we’ll continue to move the industry forward. 6
