COMMUNITY EXCELLENCE AWARD (CEA) PROGRAM

The ARPA Community Excellence Award Program

The ARPA Community Excellence Award Program began in 2005 to recognize aggregate producers whose community involvement and support activities have enhanced the public’s perception and support of the aggregates industry. ARPA firmly believes that active community relations efforts are the best way for an aggregate producer to demonstrate that an operation can be an asset in any community; and that the individuals who manage and work at aggregate operations are both good neighbors and responsible corporate citizens. The goal of the ARPA Community Excellence Award Program is improving the public’s perception of local aggregate operations and the mining industry by encouraging, recognizing and generating positive public involvement.
