YP Mission Statement

To develop the future leaders in our concrete community by offering interesting learning opportunities while networking and serving our community. 

YP’s are respected future leaders in your company (age 21 to 40-ish) with a strong future in our industry. 

  • Variety of roles – cement sales, ready mix, contractors, engineers, affiliates, etc.
  • Gain exposure from others in our industry and end up with long-term professional relationships.
  • Field trips, technical events, fun team building activities, and concrete construction education.
  • Professional development.
  • Assist in managing the CPG Holiday/Awards Party the Concrete Technology Course and the Sporting Clay fundraiser.
  • Bosses/Managers invited to the final “graduation” session – includes a fun event and networking.

The YP’s will meet once or twice a month between September and April.  Registrations are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and class size is limited to 15-18 participants.  Initially, we will take one application per member company.  If the class size allows, a second applicant may be considered.

The one-time application fee per candidate for the 8-month program is $1000. We provide beverages, food, and materials when appropriate.  

Main Objectives

  • Growth – both personally and professionally 
  • Networking – with piers & leaders in the concrete & construction community
  • Professional Development – leadership skills, time management, etc. 
  • Community – roll up your sleeves and help
  • Future – potential leaders as CPG Committee Members or Directors on the Board

YP’s are expected to participate in all scheduled activities.  Before nominating a candidate, please review the 2026-2027 schedule (see below) and make sure they can commit to attend and participate fully.  

Our group is designed for long-term networking, sharing ideas, and professional growth.  The Young Professionals will be reminded that this is not a place for recruiting or job searching.  Please contact CPG staff with any questions about the program.
