KAPA maintains a joint office in Topeka, Kansas with the Kansas Ready Mixed Concrete Association (KRMCA) under the direction of Jerry Younger, P.E.

The Association staff operates under the direction of the board of directors and conducts business such as lobbying activities, educational activities and meetings, and maintains a close relationship with the national organizations representing these industries. 

KAPA is dedicated to the betterment of the aggregate industry in the state of Kansas and works for members and non-members.

KAPA is dedicated to promoting and enlarging the USE and CONSUMPTION of industry. 

KAPA is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and information relative to the production, sale and use of aggregate products in Kansas. 

KAPA provides a basis for the members of the aggregate industry to coordinate their efforts in solving common problems.

KAPA is willing to perform acts and services on behalf of the industry that may be more satisfactorily performed by group action as opposed to an individual one.
