The Friend of Industry Award is one of two prestigious honors we hand out each year at the Utah Asphalt Conference. It is presented to an individual, organization or agency who fosters and demonstrates vision, dedication and the spirit of public-private partnerships in advancing the asphalt pavement industry and overall investment in quality infrastructure for the state of Utah.

They support policies and practices that create a stable and innovative environment for the asphalt pavement industry, lower the costs of doing business and reflect industry values of responsible, safe and ethical business practices.
