If you’re good at something, people keep asking more of you. Luckily, ASA is abundant with members who are willing to step up, jump in, and take on the challenges of leadership. Of course we always welcome new faces and ideas (nudge, nudge; wink, wink).
FASA
The Foundation of the American Subcontractors Association (FASA) was established in 1987 as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity to support research, education and public awareness.
FASA is committed to forging and exploring the critical issues shaping subcontractors and specialty trade contractors in the construction industry. FASA provides subcontractors and specialty trade contractors with the tools, techniques, practices, attitude and confidence they need to thrive and excel in the construction industry.
John Leifester (Dedicated Landscaping Services), Jenn Swinney (Executive Director of ASA San Antonio Chapter), and Patty Peterson (Tindall Corporation), are just a few of the nine dedicated ASA members of the FASA Board of Directors.
When asked why they joined the FASA Board, overwhelmingly, they responded that they want ASA to be the top resource for subcontractors, and one way to do that is for FASA to be an instrument for increasing ASA’s value to its members and to all subcontractors.
They also know that if you want change, you have to be the change you want. Only then can “we build a better future for our incredible construction industry,” per Jenn Swinney.
While FASA is still gearing up, the end goal is for our content and educational value to be the go-to resource for information across the industry – forming stronger partnerships with other associations and groups to build a network and resources for the benefit of all subcontractors.
FASA and ASA have an exciting future, and we want to be a part of it!
