Phillip Blankenship’s commitment to leadership extends well beyond the asphalt industry. He currently serves as President of the Blue Grass Council, Scouting America.

As a longtime scouting leader, Phil has invested years in mentoring young people and supporting the values of leadership, service, and character development.

The BATT Lab proudly supports scouting in many ways, including providing space in our lab where scout troops and dens can meet. We serve on committees and continually volunteer time and financial support to help young people learn and enjoy the benefits of scouting.

BATT supports Women of Asphalt nationally as well as the Kentucky Branch through hosting meetings at the BATTLab and in a variety of other ways. We're proud to be supporters of WofA and WofA in Kentucky.

BATT Team hosts students attending the University of Kentucky College of Engineering's Summer Engineering Exploration Kamp (SEEK) for high school seniors. We’re delighted to partner with UK, along with SEEK sponsors Kentucky Association of Highway Contractors and Plantmix Asphalt Industry of KY, to provide hands-on learning opportunities through a tour of our lab facility. As you’ll see in the photos, the students paid rapt attention to what they saw and heard, and the Women of Asphalt wall in our binder lab was a particular favorite of the ladies.
