HistoryOregon Concrete & Aggregate Producers Association, Inc. (OCAPA) was formed on June 13, 1967. OCAPA represents businesses who produce ready mixed concrete and/or mine aggregate - (the rock used in the production of concrete and asphalt), and industry suppliers as associate members. Currently, the Association represents 55 producing companies across the state - from two-man family operations to large foreign-owned businesses, and 68 associate members. OCAPA was created as a forum to discuss technical issues relating to the use of concrete. However, as state government regulation of the industry grew, the focus began to shift toward legislative issues. As this shifting began, OCAPA's first Executive Director, Art Heizenreider (below), passed away. After a thorough review of association goals and expectations, OCAPA's focus turned toward government regulation of the industry. The President now lobbies for the interests of the Association during legislative session. In the years since its active involvement in the legislative process, OCAPA has become one of Oregon's most creditable and respected associations. |
