2 President s Message Spring is quickly approaching which means another paving season is on the way. It also means that it s time to register for the 67th VAA Annual meeting. Over the last year, we have seen several changes in the Commonwealth. Virginia citizens elected new executive and legislative branches of government and along with the new Governor, a new Secretary of Transportation, VDOT Commissioner and Chief Deputy Commissioner were appointed. Nationally, the President proposed a new infrastructure spending plan to address deteriorating roads and bridges. What do these changes mean for Virginia s asphalt industry? Join your fellow industry partners at the picturesque Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg, Virginia to learn what the next 4 years hold for Virginia s new transportation leadership and funding as well as plans for the Association s future. During the meeting, you will have time to enjoy a round of golf, shoot sporting clays, and connect with old friends and make new ones during the Thursday evening banquet. Plan to come early to participate in zip lining and stay an extra night to sightsee during a Loudoun County wine tour. The 67th Annual Meeting is sure to meet your expectations. Make your plans now and I hope to see everyone at the Salamander Resort in April!
