Benefits of Membership in GAPA
Asphalt pavement is the pavement of choice in Georgia, and GAPA’s
mission is to keep it that way. Proponents of alternative material
pavements are seeking to sway the influence of engineers and public
officials, and keeping up with rapid advances in technology is
increasingly challenging. GAPA serves these needs by providing a strong
voice for the HMA industry and offering networking and educational
opportunities for our members.
Industry
Education. Maintaining a competitive edge requires
continual education and industry certification. GAPA provides extensive
education resources to empower our members, from marketing and industry
trends news to formal certification classes. Members also have access to
the latest engineering studies and research projects that will shape the
future of the HMA industry.
HMA Marketing. GAPA actively promotes the use of
flexible pavements to both private and public customers. We act as your
industry representative with GDOT when project specifications are being
written, providing critical input and research assistance to help shape
GDOT policies that will affect the entire industry.
Peer Networking. The Association’s various meetings,
events and trade shows afford members valuable opportunities to make new
contacts and share ideas with peers in the HMA industry. Board of
Directors and Committee involvement within the Association give members
the opportunity to assume influential leadership roles in our industry.
Industry Advocate with Government. When potential
legislation is pending that could affect the HMA industry, we are there
to represent the interests of our members. When new regulations are
created, we make sure our membership is thoroughly informed on these
rules and have access to the technical instructions necessary to be in
compliance.
National Partnerships. GAPA maintains close
partnerships with national trade associations, research institutes and
educational organizations like the National Asphalt Pavement Association
(NAPA) and The Asphalt Institute. These partnerships ensure that our
members have a strong voice not only at the state level, but also at the
national level of government.
