Singling out ASCC?

By Garnant, Bev
Publication: The Concrete Producer
Date: Monday, December 1 2003

The "Who's Hot, Who's Not" graph (TCP 100: Construction Pours it On, Oct. 2003, p. 36) stated that none of the companies responding to your questionnaire belong to the American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC). The comment seemingly suggested that ASCC is "not hot." There were many other

organizations nor on the list; why single out ASCC?

It seems too obvious to mention that concrete contractors are often the producers' customers. For this reason alone, it is definitely in the interest of producers to belong to and participate in ASCC, just as suppliers of cement admixtures, and truck mixers participate in the National Ready Mix Concrete Association.

It also seems inappropriate to label ASCC as "not hot" because producers don't belong to the organization. It is, after all, an association for concrete contractors. ASCC is currently very hot, coming off an extremely successful annual conference in September, creating an acute level of interest and excitement within the design and construction industries with our Position Statements, and enjoying growing membership and the highest level of active member participation in its history.
