The American Concrete Institute (ACI) \u00a0announces Rex C. Donahey, Ph.D. will serve as the institute\u2019s inaugural director of innovative concrete technology.<\/p>\n

In this newly created position, Donahey will be responsible for actively providing outreach by the institute to trade organizations, companies, and individuals to attract emerging technologies for development within ACI. Donahey will continue to serve as editor-in-chief of ACI\u2019s monthly magazine, Concrete International (CI), until his successor is named.<\/p>\n

In this role and in previous positions as a faculty member, structural engineer, and director of research and development for an industry supplier, Donahey has developed an understanding of the needs of contractors, designers, and suppliers. He earned his Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Kansas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pleased and excited that Rex will be taking on this new role,\u201d stated Ronald G. Burg, ACI executive vice president. \u201cThe future well-being of the institute depends on accommodating innovation and not being limited to existing technology and practices. ACI needs to be recognized as the professional organization of choice for developing new and emerging technologies. Adding a director of innovative concrete technology to ACI staff is essential to this effort and will keep ACI always advancing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
