Show Your Support in 2024: The Road Forward Packages

NEW IN 2024: The Road Forward now includes pathways for nonprofit organizations (Level 2) and government agencies (Level 3) to demonstrate our shared commitment to climate goals, alongside NAPA members (Level 1).

2024 Enrollment Period (Levels 1 & 2 Only)

NAPA staff and The Road Forward Partnership team will accept program inquiries any time. However, to create maximum value, please adhere to the following timelines.

New Partners & Supporters

NAPA members not already participating as The Road Forward may join the program as follows.

  • February 1, 2024: enrollment opens
  • August 30, 2024: enrollment ends — All payments must be received by this date to be recognized as a program participant in 2024. Enrollments will not be processed after this date and will be unavailable until the next year’s program opens.

Renewing Partners

Current Partners are invited to renew for 2024 to demonstrate your continued commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions in the production and construction of asphalt pavements by 2050 and to continue participating in invited and exclusive events.

  • All current partners (unless prepaid for 2024), will receive an invoice for renewal in February 2024.
  • To continue as a 2024 Partner, the renewal invoice must be paid in full by May 31, 2024.
    • If you decide not to continue your Partnership, please contact NAPA staff to inform them of your decision and to provide feedback on the program.
    • If the invoice remains unpaid after May 31, 2024, the invoice will be cancelled and your Partnership will be discontinued. You will remain listed as a prior Partner, but will not receive future benefits and will not be listed as a current (2024) Partner.
    • Cancelled/lapsed Partners may re-enroll during the open enrollment period during current or future years, but will not be recognized as a new Partner (i.e., via press release).
  • Renewing Partners, fully paid and in good standing, will be announced as renewing in a single press release in June 2024, at the sole discretion of NAPA.

Level 1: Partner

THE STANDARD PARTNER PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE TO ANY NAPA MEMBER COMPANY UNDER THE FOLLOWING TERMS.

Annual Partner commitment: $10,000

Duration: The actual length of the Partnership is dependent upon the Partner’s payment date. Commitment/payment will not be prorated. The Partnership is valid from the date payment is received in full through the conclusion of NAPA’s 2025 Annual Meeting (February 2-5 in Maui).

Renewal: Partnership is renewable on an annual basis. Renewal terms are subject to change based on program needs and Partner feedback. 2025 renewal will be determined in Q4-2024.

Partner Expectations

Partners will demonstrate their commitment to climate stewardship, help pave the way for the industry to accomplish its climate goals, and build awareness for environmental solutions and activities. Partners agree to participate in a survey that assesses the current state of practice for TRF Partner companies with respect to GHG emissions accounting, disclosure, goals, and related activities.

Partners are invited to attend open committee meetings, apply for open committee/leadership positions, propose educational sessions/webinars/events, suggest research opportunities or articles, etc. Participating in the Partner program provides no guarantee of acceptance.

If possible, each Partner should identify a single point of contact with whom NAPA staff will communicate program updates, expectations, and invitations.
