Mike Skinner, PE, CAE, director of pavement engineering for the Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association (CAPA), is taking the helm of the Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA), effective May 27.
“It’s an honor to lead an organization built on such a strong foundation of technical excellence and collaborative industry leadership,” Skinner says. “My focus will be on bringing strategic vision and unified momentum while continuing to support the quality programs and initiatives that have made APA a trusted voice in our field. By building on that legacy, we can elevate APA’s impact and grow the value we deliver to stakeholders nationwide.”
Founded more than 20 years ago, the APA is a partnership between the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA), Asphalt Institute (AI), and SAPAs. The partners represent the asphalt pavement and binder industries in the United States, working together in the areas of asphalt pavement promotion and pavement type selection to ensure asphalt is the pavement of choice, foster market growth, and safeguard the industry’s longevity.
Skinner has more than 30 years of experience in the industry. In his 10 years at CAPA, he grew local agency member engagement, local agency roadway funding, and the region’s asphalt trade show.
