The award also recognizes Detwiler’s distinguished career and lifelong service to ACPA and the concrete pave- ment industry. “Don Detwiler served and led the industry nationally and locally in Penn- sylvania with class and vision,” said Chuck Niederriter, 2018 Chairman of the ACPA Board of Directors and Chief Operating Officer of Golden Triangle Construction Co., Inc. as he presented the award. “He led the way in getting our first chapter off the ground in the north- eastern U.S. He also assisted the industry through challenging times as ACPA’s chairman in 1979,” Niederriter said, adding, “In that role, he led the change of our name from the American Concrete Paving Association to American Concrete Pavement Association. The simple act of changing our association’s name actually inspired a new vision and a renewed focus on our mission to support our members and chapters, something that is more important than ever today!” Niederriter also recounted a few of Detwiler’s many career highlights, beginning with his early years with New Enterprise Stone & Lime.
