ANKENY, IA The Iowa Ready Mixed Concrete Association (IRMCA) and Iowa Concrete Paving Association (ICPA) announces Greg Mulder, PE, as the new Executive Director of both associations.

Founded in 1949 and 1963 respectively, the IRMCA and ICPA serve Iowans as a vast resource for concrete construction technical information, research, training for the concrete industry, and promotion of the best material used to construct structures and pavements for Iowa's infrastructure.
