Asphalt Contractors Association of Florida, Inc.

What Asphalt Contractors Association of Florida, Inc. does

The Asphalt Contractors Association of Florida, Inc. (ACAF) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit trade association founded in 1957 and headquartered at 1007 E. DeSoto Park Drive, Suite 201, in Tallahassee, Florida. The association represents essentially the entire population of major asphalt producers and paving contractors operating in Florida, including Superior Asphalt, Hubbard Construction, Ajax Paving, Anderson Columbia, Preferred Materials, Ranger Construction, Community Asphalt, V.A. Paving, and more than a dozen other member companies. Its stated mission is to improve the quality of asphalt and expand its use, and it operates as the recognized industry voice in engagement with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on specifications, standards, and construction practices.

ACAF's core product is a portfolio of membership services and events rather than a unified technology platform. The association runs an Annual Convention (the 69th edition drew 350+ attendees in 2026), the Florida Asphalt Expo & Conference (430+ attendees, 30 exhibitor booths, and 8 equipment vendors in 2025), the FASP Sporting Clays Tournament (115 shooters raising $38,000+ for scholarships in 2026), FDOT-co-hosted Design Constructability Training, NCAT Tours & Training, ASCENT Leadership Academy, ACAF Tech Talks webinars offering PDH credits, and sub-community programs for Women of Asphalt Florida, Future Leaders in Asphalt (FLA), and multiple industry committees. The technology backbone is the Novi AMS association management platform, which powers the member directory, event registration, and e-commerce functionality.

ACAF's revenue model combines recurring annual membership dues (board-approved for each applicant) with event registration fees, multi-tiered event sponsorships (Silver, Gold, Bronze; ranging from $500 social sponsorships to multi-thousand-dollar expo and convention packages), exhibitor booth fees ($1,100 member / $1,600 non-member), website advertising and digital retargeting, and nominal fees for pavement award applications ($250 each). The organization operates with a lean staff of seven employees plus elected leadership (President Amy Miller, Executive Director Mark Musselman, Technical Director David Allain, Chairman Mitchell Gant), funded entirely through these member-derived streams with no parent company, external ownership, or institutional funding.

Direct peers

• Texas Asphalt Pavement Association: State-level asphalt trade association for Texas with comparable advocacy, training, awards, and scholarship programs. Operates at larger scale but follows the same trade association business model as ACAF.
• Asphalt Pavement Alliance: National organization that runs the Perpetual Pavement Award program, in which Florida members have earned 15+ awards. APA operates a similar promotional and awards-based model and is a key partner of ACAF in industry recognition.
• Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association: A regional asphalt contractor trade association serving the Carolinas with a structure and mission nearly identical to ACAF — producer membership, annual conventions, expo events, awards programs, and DOT engagement.

Broad incumbents

• Asphalt Institute: A national trade association focused on asphalt binder technology, education, and specifications. The Asphalt Institute produces technical content and training that complements ACAF's FDOT-focused programming in the same industry.
• Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC): National construction trade association with overlapping members in Florida. ABC represents a broader construction industry constituency and competes for the same member companies' dues and engagement, though without asphalt-specific focus.
• Associated General Contractors of America (AGC): Another broad construction industry association. AGC's Florida chapter serves many of the same contractor members as ACAF, providing a competing platform for advocacy, training, and networking at state and federal levels.
• National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA): The national trade association for the asphalt paving industry. NAPA operates at the federal level with similar advocacy, training, and awards programs, but with broader national scope; ACAF effectively functions as Florida's state-level affiliate in the same advocacy and education ecosystem.

Regional players

• Flexible Pavements Association of Kentucky: State-level asphalt trade association in Kentucky with a directly analogous structure — producer membership, DOT engagement, awards, training, and scholarships — but serving a different state geography than ACAF.

Emerging players

• Women of Asphalt: National organization whose Florida Branch is hosted by ACAF. Operates the same women-in-industry programming and sponsorship model that ACAF packages at the state level.
• National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT): Auburn University-based research and training center that delivers the binder testing, QC training, and Test Track sessions ACAF packages for members. NCAT is a content/training partner and operates in the same asphalt technology ecosystem.
