Dear ASA Members,

August is an exciting time of year.  It is a time of new beginnings.  Children are headed back to school, the weather is beginning to change, and we are all ready for the new things in store for us as we get closer to the Fall months.  I am personally excited for all of the work all of you are doing for the subcontractor community.

We are looking forward to the Legislative Fly In, and I want to thank each and every one of you who are planning to attend this incredibly important event.  To see the American Subcontractors Association descend on our nation’s capital to fight for the issues important to all of us is going to be an amazing sight to behold.  The ability to meet with lawmakers gives us the opportunity to keep these issues front and center of our leaders.  

Our membership is vital to the success of ASA, and I want to encourage you all to continue to network with each other and learn from each other.  Through our ASA website and Info Hub, ASA members have the opportunity to learn from each other and grow together.  I know many of you are working to engage with young talent in your communities and show them the immense value of working in the trades.  ASA is currently collecting your ideas and successes in order to share these ideas with other ASA members, and I encourage you to get involved with that effort.  The future of our industry relies on teaching the next generation of tradespeople, and I personally am excited to see what the future has to bring.

As we look forward, I hope you all will mark your calendars for SUBExcel 2020, which will take place March 4-7, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nevada.  This industry-leading event in such an exciting city will be a perfect opportunity for all of us to join together for the future of the American Subcontractors Association.  I hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Anthony Brooks
ASA President
