- Long Range Planning Committee Update
The
Long Range Planning (LRP) Committee was formed two years ago as an ad
hoc committee. At the annual meeting, the Board approved changing the
status of this committee to a standing committee. Prior to this meeting,
the Executive Committee met and reviewed the strategies assigned to this
committee. A number of actions were recommended and presented to the
Board. These actions along with those of the other committees will be
reviewed and presented at the October meeting in Phoenix for approval.
All members are asked to review the updates to the LRP and submit any
recommendations or changes to Mike Shydlowski.

The objective of the Concrete Industry Management (CIM) Program is to produce
graduates grounded in the basics of concrete's production techniques and its
use in a multitude of construction applications. In addition, graduates
acquire a minor in business administration. A CIM degree is designed to
provide the graduate with a broad array of initial opportunities within the
industry that include sales, operations, technical services, project,
production and concrete construction management. CIM students gain both
theoretical and practical knowledge of the concrete industry, its production
techniques and construction applications through typical classroom-style
learning, as well as hands-on experience through an array of internship
opportunities.
The CIM Program was originally founded at Middle Tennessee State University
in 1996. Since then, more than 200 people have graduated from the program.
The CIM Program has expanded to Arizona State University, the New Jersey
Institute of Technology, California State University - Chico and Texas State
University - San Marcos.
