Lunch and Learns
NPCA committed to helping you promote the expanded use of precast concrete in your area. In conjunction with our product committees NPCA is developing a series of lunch and learns that are designed to help you reach out to local specifiers and create a dialogue about the many applications and quality of precast concrete. The first lunch and learn discusses the importance of a watertight and efficient onsite wastewater system, and how precast concrete is the material of choice for associated treatment and conveyance structures.
We have included additional resources for you on training and presentation tips to help you prepare for your lunch and learns. Check back often for more tools like marketing materials, new lunch and learns and information about upcoming training sessions from NPCA on how to use these tools to reach out to specifiers in your community.
If you have any questions about the lunch and learn presentation or the tools on this site please contact Kathy Shelton at (800) 366-7731.
The Stormwater and Wastewater Structures Lunch and Learn
This Lunch and Learn presentation reviews the importance of proper stormwater and wastewater management.
