Kevan Stone Named Executive Director of the National Association of County Engineers

WASHINGTON--()--The National Association of County Engineers (NACE), the national association representing county engineers, road managers and public works directors, announced that Kevan Stone has been named the association’s Executive Director. The announcement comes after the nation’s county infrastructure professionals met for their Annual Meeting and Technical Conference last month.

He will also direct the operations, corporate and external relations, initiatives and staff of the association.

"With our members, I look forward to working with Congress and the Administration to improve the nation's infrastructure network to ensure county roads and bridges remain safe and able to keep pace with today's global economy."
