We offer the following NRMCA certifications in Tennessee:

• Certified Concrete Sales Professional

• Certified Driver Professional

• Pervious Technician Certification

• Volumetric Mixer Operator Certification Review and Exam

• Proctoring of NRMCA Technical re-certifications, as needed

TCA has for several years sponsored and conducted a pervious concrete review session and written exam at World of Concrete. 

TCA’s Executive Director Alan Sparkman teaches the Certified Concrete Sales Professional classes (all four modules) for NRMCA, as well as for several other state associations who offer the program. 

In addition to more than two decades of support for the CCSP classes, Executive Director Alan Sparkman also serves as an active member on the NRMCA Business Advancement Committee, and on the NRMCA Workforce Committee.

TCA 2024 Annual Convention – TCA provided a tabletop for NRMCA’s Amanda Muller, and we conducted a raffle at the NRMCA table to attract visitors. Raffle proceeds and donations totaling over $600 each were raised for the ConcretePAC fund and The Concrete Advancement Foundation.

In March, TCA supported the NRMCA Annual Convention by attending, and we provided the ConcretePac Silent Auction with a Tennessee state basket with items donated by Alan Sparkman.

Concrete Advancement Foundation Support -– Our total pledge giving to date is over $19,000. Alan Sparkman was both a participant and an individual sponsor of the 2024 Walk for Wellness at NRMCA’s Concrete Works in Denver. 

TCA utilized NRMCA staff (Brian Killingsworth) as speaker for a presentation at the 2024 Tennessee Engineers Conference.

TCA has participated in the NRMCA program to provide social media posts to state associations since its inception. This is a great way for states and NRMCA to amplify a common message about concrete through social media.

TCA uses our Build With Strength banners after seeing them at the 2022 Concrete Works event. We are using these banners as part of trade show displays for various Tennessee groups such as the TN Engineers Conference, Metro-Davidson County High School Job Fair, Landscape Architects, TN Building Officials, Career and Technical Educators Institute and more.
