The 2021 UAPA Fall Conference was held Nov. 8-9, 2021, at the Dixie Center in St. George. The theme was “The Power of Resiliency,” and it was a great success. This year seemed even better than usual, which surprised me: the Fall Conference always sets a high bar to measure up to, but there’s nothing like meeting in person and feeling the energy that occurs when people in the industry get together.
We had excellent topics and presenters. I especially enjoyed learning more about the Southern Utah projects that were highlighted. Meeting face-to-face has always been a privilege, but it is not something I take for granted anymore. A Zoom meeting could never have been as enjoyable as meeting at the Dixie Convention Center and golfing at the beautiful Sunbrook Golf Course. If you were able to attend, I hope you enjoyed the conference as much as I did.
While we’re on the subject of worthwhile conferences, please make plans to join us at the 2022 Utah Asphalt Conference (UAC) scheduled Feb. 1-2, 2022 at the Mountain America Expo Center in Sandy, UT. The UAC is the premier asphalt related event in the state of Utah. The conference brings together the asphalt industry’s best and brightest for a second-to-none trade show with over thirty educational seminars, 85 exhibitors, and 30,000 square feet of large equipment. The 2022 UAC will provide you with all of the tools, technologies, and best practices you need to accomplish your goals as well as plenty of networking opportunities. Conference registration is now open; check out our website for more information.
As the busy season winds down, I have been reflecting on our progress and growth of the Association. In the span of ten years UAPA membership has grown to over 130 members, many of who are new this year.
As the busy season winds down, I have been reflecting on our progress and growth of the Association. In the span of ten years UAPA membership has grown to over 130 members, many of who are new this year. More members mean greater synergy, more opportunities to learn from each other, and more political clout with the Utah Legislature. Those are all good things. If you are not involved in UAPA, please consider serving on a committee and becoming an active UAPA member. For those who are involved already, thank you! We appreciate the work you do and hope you will continue to be an active UAPA member.
Utah is a great place to live and work, and we want to keep it that way. We are here to serve you, and we will do our best to support you in your business efforts.
