Among those to be honored at the Annual Dinner include: Don L. Daley Jr. (California Commercial Asphalt), Pascal Mascarenhas (Vulcan Materials), Jerry Bland (Matich Corp.), Bill Darnell (Valero) and Alan French (DeSilva Gates Materials), as well as 2019 CalAPA Chairman Jordan Reed (George Reed Co.) and a special recognition for Don Matthews (Pavement Recycling Systems). The 2020 officers for CalAPA will also be introduced.

The keynote speaker will be Kevin James, president of the Board of Public Works for the City of Los Angeles (pictured at right). Appointed by Mayor Eric Garcetti, James will be providing his insight into the Board's role as the chief administrators of the Department of Public Works, which consists of more than 5,000 employees who are responsible for the design, construction, renovation and operation of public projects, including streets and bridges. James will also introduce a special video message to CalAPA members from Mayor Garcetti, who was unable to attend the dinner in person. Garcetti, one of the most prominent big-city mayors in the nation, served four terms as City Council President before being elected the city's 43rd mayor in 2013, and being re-elected  in 2017 by the largest margin in city history.
