CONWAY, AR — The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) announces Don Weaver, President of Weaver-Bailey Contractors, Inc. as the Chairman of the Board of Directors in 2025.

Weaver has 50 years of experience in the concrete paving industry, more than 45 of those years being with Weaver-Bailey Contractors, which is based in Conway, Arkansas. Since 2002 he has served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the company, responsible for all areas of business operations. Previously he served 20 years as the Chief Operations Officer/Vice President, and before that he was a Project Manager.

Weaver holds a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Central Arkansas. He is a National Board Member representing the Associated General Contractors of America Arkansas Chapter and was the chapter’s President in 2002. In 2009 he was the Highway Chairman for the Associated General Contractors of America. In 2015 he was the National Chairman for The Road Information Program (TRIP), and currently he serves as a Board Member for the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board.

“Don is more than prepared to lead ACPA into the future because he has a strong vision for how to push the promotion of concrete paving through the association,” said Laura O’Neill Kaumo, President & CEO of ACPA. “Don understands that in order to be effective, pavers need to be in the ‘room where it happens’ and that means outreach to lawmakers, state highway agencies, and the general public.”

“I hope to build on the work that Ernie Peterson, Laura O'Neill Kaumo, the board, and the staff have done to grow ACPA — through its relations with chapters, members, and government partners — to make concrete the material of first choice for all pavements,” Weaver said.
