Challenging times require compelling reasons to attend...

As your Chairman, I urge you to attend the only industry meeting that has the information and programming to change whether 2009 and beyond will be good years for your company!

NAPA’s 54th Annual Meeting, January 18 - 21, 2009 in San Diego will provide programming that will strengthen your company’s marketplace position, build a powerful message for federal highway funding in 2009, and narrow the divide between leading-edge technology and reality.  Industry challenges are at the heart of the Annual Meeting educational programming, and National Asphalt Pavement Association is the source for solutions.

Here are a few examples of what you will take home from the NAPA Annual Meeting:

• Oil and asphalt supply—what you won’t read in the newspaper
• What you can do to influence the next highway bill
• How to go green without going broke
• Strategies for charting your company’s course in challenging times
• Developing a workforce that is knowledgeable and invested in your company's vision 

The NAPA Annual Meeting continues to be the leading provider of education that brings you the latest technologies and future trends.  Prepare yourself for three and a half days filled with events that build business alliances and broaden leadership skills to keep you miles ahead of the competition.  Discover why I and other asphalt pavement industry leaders consider it a “must attend” year after year.  Mark your calendar to attend the one meeting you must attend.  It will be an investment in the industry’s and YOUR future!

Sincerely,

Mac Badgett
Chairman of the Board
National Asphalt Pavement Association
