Rex C. Donahey, Ph.D., currently Editor-in-Chief of ACI’s monthly magazine, Concrete International, was named to the post. He will focus on outreach with trade organizations, companies, and individuals to attract emerging technologies for development within ACI.
“The future well-being of the Institute depends on accommodating innovation and not being limited to existing technology and practices,” said Ronald G.
