Page 15 - PACA - Building and Connecting Communities

Community – Unity – Voice (continued)
Networking
Throughout the year, PACA offers multiple networking events for its members. PACA’s networking events provide the opportunity for attendees to interact while learning about the various points of view from individuals and companies that are often multi-generational. This unique blend of experience and
open dialogue with companies across the commonwealth is an important component to PACA’s overall success.
Unity
PACA is the place that brings us together to build relationships, create a common goal
of promoting and protecting our materials,
and unify and amplify our voices across Pennsylvania to the general public, customers, PennDOT, DEP and L&I.
• The PACA community represents not
only Pennsylvania-born companies,
but many small businesses and multi- generational companies—all of whom believe it is important to do business in
an environmentally sound and financially responsible manner. These companies demonstrate this responsibility in various ways—through responsible corporate stewardship, financial support for initiatives that benefit their local communities and support of PACA. Economic development without these industries would be impossible.
Voice
PACA connects its members to Pennsylvania policymakers; introduces legislation; monitors local, state and federal legislation and proactively acts on legislation that can have an adverse impact on the aggregates, concrete and cement industry; and advocates for a balanced approach by the regulators.
