The Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) began operations in a new headquarters office in Herndon, Va. Over the last ten years ICPI has been managed by Bostrom Corp., an association management company, out of its Washington, D.C. office. Charles McGrath, CAE, has served as Bostrom’s managing partner, client services and ICPI executive director over the period. ICPI has grown from 157 members in 1998 to more than 1,100.
“The key factors for self-management included adequate reserves, right leadership, a transition plan, leadership from staff, and a high level of confidence from volunteer leadership” noted Ed Fioroni, ICPI Chairman of the Board. “The ICPI Board of Directors is pleased with the transition progress and that Charles McGrath has agreed to lead our organization to the next level.”
“ICPI is fortunate to have dedicated passionate volunteer leaders who have partnered with staff to provide an array of programs and services for ICPI members” said Charles McGrath. “ICPI has become the voice of the segmental concrete pavement industry in North America based on the strong technical support given to civil engineers, landscape architects, architects and contractors.”
ICPI represents producers, suppliers, contractors, design professionals and consultants. ICPI promotes the highest product standards through ICPI product certification and installation guidelines through ICPI concrete paver installer certification. The organization plans to continue the positive relationship with Bostrom by outsourcing accounting, meetings and trade show management.
