Saige has been an exceptional partner to UAPA. She worked closely with us to develop a new Civil Construction curriculum, resulting in two pilot courses now being taught within the Jordan School District. Once finalized, this curriculum will be available statewide, introducing high school students to careers in horizontal construction — including asphalt — and creating a clear pathway into our industry.

Through Saige’s leadership, students across Utah are gaining valuable exposure to the opportunities our industry provides. Her commitment to developing Utah’s future workforce is evident in all she does. We are deeply grateful for her partnership and are honored to recognize her as the recipient of the Friend of the Industry — Education Award.
