Virgil D. Skipper Seminar The Virgil D. Skipper Award was
established in 1978, by the Georgia Chapter, ACI (formerly Atlanta
Chapter) to promote the use of ready-mixed concrete. In 1984, the
Award program was replaced by the Virgil D. Skipper Memorial
Seminar. This seminar is held each year in honor of Mr. Skipper,
who passed way in 1985 in the 10th year of his retirement after 30
years of active involvement in the Atlanta concrete industry.
As one of the original organizers of the Georgia Concrete &
Products Association, Mr. Skipper was the recipient of several
awards from that association.
Mr. Skipper also contributed to the establishment of the first
Chapter of ACI in Georgia and was instrumental in writing the
first specification for ready-mixed concrete which was then used
as a model for the ACI 301, "Specifications for Structural
Concrete for Buildings." He was a Fellow of the American Concrete
Institute and an honorary member of the Atlanta Chapter. It is in
keeping with his interests and spirit that the Chapter presents
this special program. |
