Organization
Portland Cement Association (PCA) (www.cement.org ), founded in 1916, is headquartered in Washington D.C. and represents 77% of US cement capacity as of April 1, 2013.
 
PCA’s total annual budget is approximately $50M.  Its local divisions include seven Regional Promotion Groups (RPG’s).  CTLGroup, which conducts research, testing and consulting engineering, is a wholly-owned for-profit subsidiary.  PCA also provides administrative services to PCA’s Education Foundation and three non-integrated RPGs.
 
PCA’ mission is to “improve and expand the uses of cement and concrete through market development, research, and public affairs.”  Both national and regional programs are focused on two key areas: promotion and advocacy.  PCA is engaged in multiple industry alliances and partnerships consistent with its purpose.
