The Concrete Industry Management (CIM) program – a business intensive program that awards students with a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in Concrete Industry Management – will host their fifth annual auction at the World of Concrete on Thursday, Feb. 4 in the North Hall Room N262 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The silent auction will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the live auction from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Organizers hope the 2010 Auction will be even bigger than the 2009 Auction, which raised approximately $300,000. The money raised from both the live and silent auctions will benefit the CIM National Steering Committee and support the CIM programs at Middle Tennessee State University, Arizona State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, California State University – Chico, and Texas State University.
“We have been blessed with the tremendous support from the concrete industry. Even in challenging economic times, the World of Concrete (WOC) Show Management, Hanley Wood Publications, Concrete Producer magazine, Concrete Construction magazine, McNeilus, Freightliner and Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers, have stepped-up to help raise valuable dollars that benefit the CIM programs,” said Brian Gallagher, Chairman of the CIM Marketing Committee.
