            The editors of THE CONCRETE PRODUCER are honored to recognize the people who are greatly influencing the concrete industry. These influencers, like Gene Martineau, have adopted leadership styles that are marked by consensus building. A desire to improve the entire industry, not just a market segment, drives them, and they believe that lasting change must be built on a foundation of education.</description><pubDate>Tue, 8 Jan 2013 11:48:19 EST
