NAPA announces 2026 AMC leadership
NAPA is thrilled to announce the newly appointed leaders and members of the 2026 Associate Member Council (AMC). This distinguished group of industry professionals is poised to guide NAPA’s initiatives and support its mission to advance the quality and sustainability of asphalt pavements.
The AMC will officially begin its term in January, collaborating closely with NAPA’s leadership and producer members. Their focus will remain on driving innovation, supporting sustainability efforts, and ensuring the continued success and growth of the asphalt pavement sector.
