Indiana Mineral Aggregates Association - IMAA

What Indiana Mineral Aggregates Association - IMAA does

The Indiana Mineral Aggregates Association (IMAA) is a Carmel, Indiana-based non-profit trade association founded in 1934 that represents over 90% of aggregate production in the state, encompassing 240 plants and mines producing 45.2 million metric tons of crushed stone and 17.4 million metric tons of sand and gravel annually. The association serves Indiana-based aggregate producers, associate members (equipment and service suppliers), and transportation companies through a membership-funded model that delivers regulatory compliance support, safety training, professional development, industry advocacy, and convening events. Core offerings include the Certified Aggregate Producer Program (CAPP) operated in partnership with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT), MSHA Part 46 safety training delivered both in-person and via Zoom, the Winter Workshops & Trade Show (the largest annual member event), the WLMA workshops for women leaders, the Excellence in Leadership Program, the BLAST Summer Teachers' Institute, and the Indiana Rocks Build Hoosier Tomorrows public image campaign.

IMAA's technology stack consists of a web-based member portal (web.indmaa.org), an online marketplace branded Atlas for purchasing training packages and publications, an MCLMS learning management system, and Zoom for live virtual training — a conventional association SaaS stack rather than a proprietary technology platform. The organization employs nine staff led by Executive Director Calvin Lee (seven-plus years tenure) and certified MSHA instructor Ron Bucci, supported by Program Services Coordinator Doug Lozier (joined November 2019) and communications staff. Revenue is generated through recurring membership dues, pay-as-you-go training and certification fees ($75-$1,050 per tier), event registration, and sponsorship; annual revenue is not publicly disclosed. Strategic partnerships include core regulatory relationships with INDOT and MSHA, peer-association collaborations with the Asphalt Pavement Association of Indiana (APAI), Indiana Ready Mixed Concrete Association (IRMCA), American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA), Women Leaders in Mining and Aggregates (WLMA), and advocacy alignment with Build Indiana Council (BIC), Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC), and National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA).
