Membership Benefits
Why Join?
To begin, The Asphalt Pavement Association of Indiana is the only organization that focuses exclusively on the business of asphalt pavement construction in Indiana.
Member Discounts at APAI Events: APAI members are entitled to reduced pricing at all APAI events and trainings. This includes attendee and exhibitor registration at the APAI Winter Conference & Expo, held annually each December.
Member-Only Communication: APAI members and their selected employees are automatically opted-in to the monthly APAI Newsletter. This newsletter is full of important information, ranging from board of director updates, to technical updates, to newsworthy articles and columns beneficial to Indiana’s asphalt industry. APAI also periodically sends updates that may be of interest to its membership.
Representation on APAI committees: APAI committees underwent a complete restructure in 2022. This allowed APAI staff and board of directors the opportunity to reassess what committees were aligned with the association’s strategic plan, as well as which committees were effective in their structure. This resulted in eight new or restructured committees, all of which have representation from APAI membership.
Opportunity to Connect and Network With APAI Membership: APAI hosts several events throughout the year, providing endless networking and relationship opportunities between APAI producer and laydown contractors, binder suppliers and associate members, as well as INDOT and local municipal employees including:
- APAI Winter Conference and Expo (by far the largest event of the APAI year, bringing together 550+ attendees and exhibitors from all of the association’s membership, including attendees from INDOT and local communities
- INDOT Certified Asphalt Technician (ICAT) Class – a one-week intensive course held each January
- INDOT Field Supervisor Certification Course - a one-day class held each February
- Shooting for Scholarships – Annual scholarship fundraiser held each April
- Trine University Golf Outing – Annual scholarship fundraiser held each April
