The Power of Mentorship

By Frank Townsend

We are a growing association, and shotcrete is expanding worldwide as a best practice for placing concrete. With this growth, we need to harness and develop new members who understand and can emulate the principles of quality shotcrete placement. For those involved in ASA, you know I am a people person, and mentorship and education are near and dear to me.
