The National Precast Concrete Association Board of Directors is seeking to position the association as a leader in the sustainability movement. Accordingly, NPCA will create producer-oriented tools enabling members to favorably position precast as a green building component against competing materials, as it participates with regulatory agencies in developing sustainability-geared standards and assists members in making their own operations more environmentally efficient.

The sustainability game plan was one of the key sentiments emerging from strategic planning sessions at the Spring Board Meeting and Committee Liaison Training held last month in Chatham, Mass. Board members also discussed further safety training initiatives; established new workforce development objectives; approved the current marketing plan; and, assessed ways to benchmark the industry’s performance versus other materials.
