The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has announced the launch of its updated strategic plan, a roadmap designed to advance knowledge, foster innovation, and lead the future of concrete in an evolving global landscape. Since its last update in 2016, ACI has continued to respond to significant developments within the industry. The newly refreshed strategic plan was developed to ensure the institute remains adaptable, effective, and aligned with the needs of its members and the global concrete community. The plan outlines five primary goals to guide ACI’s initiatives over the coming years: advance expertise, disseminate knowledge, engage globally, advance resiliency and sustainability, and enhance the ACI experience. Following the ACI Concrete Convention in Spring 2024, ACI President Michael J. Paul established a board task group on the strategic plan update. Chaired by ACI Vice President Scott M. Anderson, the task group conducted a thorough review of the existing plan. Members included Ann Harrer, Carol M. Hayek, Kimberly A. Kayler, Anton K. Schindler, Frederick H. Grubbe, and John C. Glumb. After months of collaboration, the final draft was presented and unanimously approved by the ACI Board of Direction at the Fall 2024 ACI Concrete Convention in Philadelphia. "In updating our vision and mission to be clear and cogent, ACI’s new strategic plan reiterates our core purpose and importantly emphasizes our commitment to engagement—both internal and external—in a global approach that embraces sustainability and responsible stewardship," said Paul. ACI invites all members, partners, and stakeholders to explore the full strategic plan and join in shaping the future of concrete. Together, ACI will harness innovation, expand its global reach, and contribute to a more resilient and sustainable world.
