Careers in the Aggregates, Concrete & Cement Industries

Creating a unified and strong voice for our industry.
PACA monitors and analyzes local, state and federal regulations and advocates for a balanced approach by the regulators.
PACA members and staff work to address technical issues with these common goals: proper use of materials, based upon sound materials engineering practice; protection of member companies and the materials they produce; sustainable use of valuable natural materials – aggregate availability; and, the professional and personal growth of PACA members through their involvement and engagement.
One of the most effective tools in government relations for an industry is a robust advocacy/grassroots strategy.
In the last legislative session, we contributed over $275,000 to our political champions.

PACA is pleased to welcome Chris Stirewalt and Greg Blank to its Summer Summit.
Chris Stirewalt is back at this year’s Summer Summit to bring us more of his now-famous ‘Stirewaltisms’ he uses to get his point across. Stirewalt is known for his singular way of reporting the news: tell-it-like-it-is commentary infused with first-hand anecdotes, hilarious phrasing, and smart insight. Humble and larger than life, Stirewalt’s gregarious persona keeps audiences engaged while delivering a succinct overview of our current political climate and a deep dive into issues that matter to his audience now, including analyzing races, breaking down what’s happening on Capitol Hill, taking apart legislative battles, and offering a bird’s eye view of what’s to come in politics. We welcome Chris back to this year’s agenda and look forward to hearing his 2025 update.
Mr. Blank will bring Blackstone’s (the largest private asset manager globally) view of private and public markets, the impact of current policy, and the outlook - including the opportunities and risks - for projects and investments within private infrastructure.
More information can be found about the Summer Summit under PACA's Membership Meetings section of the website.
