Dear Valued UAPA Members,

We are glad you are association members, and we are grateful for your support. UAPA would not be what it is, 12 years and counting, without the generosity, expertise, energy and commitment you provide. We hope you can see the benefits of membership, too. When people work together, the resulting synergy is wonderful to experience.

This year has been a busy one, filled with unique challenges and many successes. Thank you to everyone that has participated in our conferences and events; it was great to see you! I don’t think I will ever take talking or meeting in person for granted again.

We focused last year on making the most of personal connections, being fiscally responsible with association resources, working through our strategic plan and hiring our new Technical Director, Derrick Frame. It is exciting to think we now have an opportunity to add and implement new goals to the strategic plan for the association for the remainder of 2023 and 2024. I am confident we have lessons to learn and can meet the future’s challenging circumstances.

In addition to the 12th Annual Golf Classic, held in August, we have had several great events in 2023, including the 2023 Utah Asphalt Conference, The Annual Industry Meeting, a Public Works Appreciation BBQ and a variety of Lunch and Learns. The UAPA 2023 Fall Conference is scheduled for Nov. 2, 2023, at The Dixie Convention Center. Another chance to play golf with other UAPA members will be on Nov. 3, 2023. We put a huge amount of effort into this conference, and attendees have told us that they find it to be a worthwhile event. This year won’t be any different.

We hope you will find this directory useful. The strength of UAPA is the strength of our members. We are grateful for each and every one of you. We hope you will use this directory to connect to your peers, engage one another and find ways to help all of us become better. The association stands ready to help you make these kinds of connections.

Keri, Derrick and I are always happy to help you. Call, text, email or visit us when you have a question or an idea.

Best regards,
Reed
