OAIMA welcomes our new Board President Rob Rosell (Olen Corp.) who was confirmed by the membership at the November Annual Meeting and Trade Show.
President Rosell offered the following statement upon his confirmation to the Board Presidency.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the new OAIMA Board President. I hope that I can emulate the high standard for this role set by the outgoing president Chad Doll of National Lime and Stone. Chad has done an excellent job leading the OAIMA and we appreciate his tireless work on behalf of the Association.
As we look forward to 2026, the OAIMA Board has identified some key initiatives to further strengthen the OAIMA and better serve our members.
We will be developing two Ad Hoc committees tasked with reviewing the OAIMA by-laws and our committee structure and effectiveness. Our committees are the foundation of the association and through this review we are going to ensure that our committees are efficient and effective while creating a path forward for future member development and growth.
We will continue to work with our members and the Ohio General Assembly to move Senate Bill 181 across the finish line. This is an important legislative effort that will positively impact our members for years to come.
New in 2026, we will be rolling out our first SOS Workshop. This workshop will focus on “Safety, Operations and Sales.” This is in response to members requests to expand our learning and training offerings. Additionally, the SOS Workshop will be held adjacent to the bi-annual Ohio Drilling & Blasting Workshop, further advancing our partnership with ODNR.
Lastly, I encourage all OAIMA members to contribute to the Ohio Aggregates Political Action Committee. The OA-PAC is your way to make sure your voice is heard in the Ohio General Assembly. Supporting the March 10th Legislative Reception at the Ohio Statehouse is another way to make sure that your voice is heard.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to serve as the OAIMA Board President. I look forward to working with you to continue to Promote, Advance and Defend our industry and our members as we continue to provide the materials that are critical to our economy and our way of life.”
