About the Speaker
Audrey oversees the strategic direction and operations of all National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) programs and leads a staff dedicated to supporting, advocating for, and advancing the asphalt industry.
Prior to being named President & CEO, Audrey served as NAPA’s Vice President of Engineering, Research, and Technology. In this role, she secured $5 million in dedicated funding for asphalt technology, research, and development. A first in NAPA’s history, under Audrey’s leadership, NAPA was awarded more than $2 million in federal funding to advance innovative asphalt technologies. She led the five-year project which has resulted in continued growth of recycled asphalt pavements; improved production, construction, and performance of asphalt mixtures; and numerous educational opportunities through industry-government working groups, conferences, and publications.
Audrey is a Past President and serves on the Board of Directors of the Association of Asphalt Paving Technologists (AAPT). In addition, she is a founding member and the current Secretary of the Women of Asphalt.

She is a registered engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia and in Maryland.
Thomas Viaduct Railroad Bridge
Historic Civil Engineering Landmark
The Thomas Viaduct in Relay Maryland has been designated as a National Historic Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). The Viaduct was the most challenging part of the first railroad line to the U.S. Capital city and when opened in July 1835, it was the longest stone arch bridge in the world.
The ASCE Maryland Section is working to have a bronze plaque mounted near the viaduct to honor the designation. We are raising funds for the pedestal and to mount the plaque, retain a contractor, and arrange for delivery. Our fundraising goal is $3,500. All organizations that provide donations will recognized at the mounting ceremony. Please consider donating (via the link at the left) today! ASCE Maryland is a 501(c)3 organization, so your donation may be tax deductible.
