ASTEC Industries Inc. hosted the Women of Asphalt executive seminar at their headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee, from 7–8 November. Women of Asphalt is an organization which strives to advance and support women in the asphalt industry.

The two-day seminar brought together leaders across the asphalt industry, fostering thought leadership and acknowledging the pivotal role women play in the field.

 

‘I’m proud of all of you in this room,’ said Astec board member Jay Winford, as he kicked off his powerful keynote speech.

In addition to Mr Winford’s presentation, attendees had the opportunity to learn about innovation, empowerment, and leadership from a distinguished panel of presenters, including experts from Astec, Women of Asphalt, Pennsylvania Asphalt Pavement Association, Aztec Asphalt Technology, and Total Asphalt Rejuvenation.

‘Events like this are vital to empowering and advancing women in our industry,’ said Aletheia Silcott, Astec’s global vice-president and head of human resources. ‘At Astec, we’re proud to host and champion such impactful initiatives, providing the resources and support that help the women who shape our industry lead with authenticity and confidence.’

The event also included interactive sessions such as a tour of Astec’s Manufacturers Road facility and a Women of Asphalt panel and Q&A session, which sparked conversations around innovation in the industry and the impact women make.

As a global leader in the manufacturing industry, Astec say they are proud supporters of Women of Asphalt and look forward to continuing to empower the women who are shaping the industry.
