The Intersection of Road Construction and Community

Reed Family Companies has been recognized by the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) as a recipient of the 2025 Community Involvement Award, part of NAPA's Operational Excellence Awards program. The award recognizes organizations that make a lasting impact in the communities they serve through strong community relations and employee involvement. (Check out the full article from NAPA.)

One of the initiatives highlighted in the award was our annual Touch-A-Truck event, held in partnership with the Modesto Chamber of Commerce. The event gives local families and children the opportunity to explore construction equipment up close, meet industry professionals, and learn more about careers in construction. We are honored to receive this national recognition and grateful to our employees, partners, and community members who help make these efforts possible.

NAPA’s Community Involvement Award recognizes outstanding programs in community relations and is awarded based on a company’s complete community relations program, with employee participation weighted heavily.

The Operational Excellence Awards celebrate companies that commit to transformative practices that position them as exemplary contractors, influential industry leaders, and vital community partners.

The 2025 Community Involvement Award winners are:

• Callanan Industries Inc., a CRH Co. Albany, New York

• Lehman-Roberts/Memphis Stone & Gravel Memphis, Tennessee

• Reed Family Companies Modesto, California

Finalists include Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, LLC of Venice, Fla. for Ajax Paving’s Pave It Forward program and Sully-Miller Contracting Co. of Brea, CA for its Sully-Miller Days of Caring.

NAPA’s Operational Excellence Awards celebrate member companies that go above and beyond industry standards. Winners are recognized at the Annual Meeting and in various communications, including industry publications and local news outlets. NAPA members are invited to apply beginning in August.
