Donahey will continue to serve as Editor-in-Chief of ACI’s monthly magazine, Concrete International (CI) until his successor is named. In this role and in previous positions as a faculty member, a structural engineer, and a director of research and development for an industry supplier, Donahey has developed a strong understanding of the needs of contractors, designers, and suppliers. He earned his Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, USA.
