Georgia Ready Mixed Concrete Association

What Georgia Ready Mixed Concrete Association does

The Georgia Ready Mixed Concrete Association (GRMCA) is a private nonprofit trade association founded in 1968 through the merger of the Georgia Concrete Masonry Association and the Georgia Ready Mixed Concrete Association, and rebranded to its current name in 2014 to reflect its focus on the ready mix concrete industry. Headquartered in Cumming, Georgia, the organization serves as the sole statewide trade body representing ready mixed concrete producers, associate suppliers (admixtures, fibers, aggregates, cementitious materials), truck and equipment providers, and general contractors operating in the State of Georgia. Membership is its core product, organized into tiered categories with dues that scale for producers by plants and trucks and for associates between $1,500 and $10,000 annually, supplemented by paid events, sponsorships, and scholarship fundraisers.

GRMCA's product surface centers on advocacy, education, and compliance support rather than technology products. Key offerings include the annual meeting (57th iteration scheduled for July 2026 at Omni Amelia Island), Day of Concrete educational programming, scholarship and golf tournament fundraising, the Driver Skills Championship, Concrete at the Capitol advocacy day, and a webinar series covering OSHA, FMCSA, EPD stormwater, and DOT compliance topics. Technical services include the CTAC (Concrete Testing Adherence and Collaboration) quality program — originally developed in Colorado in 2015 and now adopted at the state level with NRMCA endorsement — a newly launched Technical Help Desk staffed by experts from Sika, Heidelberg Cement, MasterBuilders, and others, and a GDOT E-Ticketing partnership with HaulHub rolled out in 2025. The Find a Ready Mix Producer directory provides B2B discovery for contractors and developers seeking member-supplied concrete. Underlying technology is operational rather than product-facing: Novi AMS association management software for member services and event registration, Jotform for web forms, and iCal/Google/Outlook calendar integrations. No API, proprietary AI, or external developer platform exists.

GRMCA's revenue mechanics combine subscription recurring membership dues (the primary stream), one-time event registration fees ($100-$175 per attendee with sponsor packages ranging to $1,500), and fundraised scholarship dollars ($38,500 awarded to 27 students in 2025). Go-to-market is event-driven and community-led, with member committees (Legislative, Technical, Safety & Environmental, Workforce Development, Fleet & Plant) serving as the core engagement touchpoints. Named members span enterprise-grade producers and suppliers including Vulcan Materials, Heidelberg Materials, Thomas Concrete, Quikrete, Martin Marietta, and Sika, with no parent company, no outside capital, and a 1-10 employee staff led by an Executive Director (Bill Benzur) and an incoming Executive Director (Jeff Newlin).
