OCAPA knows from experience that personal contact from our members, business owners and employers is crucial to our industry and an important way of lobbying. Senator Frank Morse said that "If you have a serious problem, don’t hesitate to call your legislators, either at their capitol office, cell phone, or even at their homes. Remember, politics and good policy is all about relationships."

Our members represent the industry. Provide positive examples to support the recognition of superior performance and professional competence of aggregate and concrete producers, support organizations, government employees and politicians, and other people involved in the industry.
