Dear Readers:
As we share this combined March/April issue, I want to take a moment to recognize the energy, talent, and meaningful progress happening across our industry. This edition highlights women in construction and the many ways they are shaping the future of our profession. Their leadership, expertise, and dedication continue to elevate our jobsites, strengthen our companies, and enrich our Association. We are proud to recognize their growing impact and the important role they play in driving our industry forward.
This issue also marks an important update to our publication schedule. Moving forward, our journal will be released at the beginning of each month. As part of this transition, there will not be a separate April issue, and our next publication will be released on May 5. We are excited about this change as it allows us to deliver more timely, relevant, and valuable content to our Members.
In addition, we are pleased to introduce a new monthly feature, Health Coverage Insights. This segment will provide practical information and guidance on healthcare coverage topics that directly impact our member companies and their employees. We believe this addition will serve as a valuable resource as we continue expanding the educational and business-focused content within this publication.
As spring gets underway, I encourage you to plan ahead for two important upcoming ASA events. First, our Annual Business Meeting on May 19 will provide key updates on the State of the Association, including the President’s Report, Government Advocacy efforts, Financial Updates, and the confirmation of new National Board Members. This is an excellent opportunity to stay informed and engaged with the direction of ASA.
Shortly after, we will gather in Washington, D.C. for the 2026 ASA Legislative Fly-In and Board Meeting, taking place June 8–10 on Capitol Hill. This event remains one of the most impactful opportunities we have each year to unite as an industry, meet directly with lawmakers, and advocate for policies that support subcontractors and small businesses across the country.
Participation is critical to ensuring our voice is heard where it matters most. The registration deadline for the Fly-In is May 5. I strongly encourage you to secure your spot and be part of this important effort. You can register here.
Thank you for your continued support of our Association and for the work you do every day to strengthen the subcontracting community. Your leadership, engagement, and commitment are what keep this industry moving forward.
Andrew V. Christ
ASA President ‘25/’26
