Dear ASA Members, 

I am thrilled to be writing to you for the first time as your ASA President. What an incredible honor and privilege it is to work with all of you. We at ASA have so many things going on, both locally and nationally, and understand each state and chapter has different challenges to work through.  However, I am optimistic we as Americans will always prevail. We have all navigated the last several months together, and I know that we will come out stronger as 2020 is a year that none of us will forget.  

As we all continue to navigate COVID-19 and the challenges it brings, the latest updated information can always be found on the ASA COVID-19 page on ASA National’s website. There you can find important and timely information from ASA National and the Government Relations team to keep all subcontractors informed of the latest news and updates regarding the pandemic.  

As us subcontractors know, many times there are legal and legislative issues that we all must navigate within our businesses. I am proud of the hard work that ASA’s advocacy team does each and every day fighting for the needs of the subcontracting community nationwide. Those battles require an immense amount of stellar work that I want to make sure all our members are aware. It is long, hard work that is vital to the success of the subcontracting industry.  

Stay in tune with the legislative victories that are happening not only in your backyard and also around the country. Those successes will continually shape the future of our entire industry. Stay tuned to your weekly ASAToday email for news of those victories, as well as articles right here in The Contractor’s Compass.  

Stay safe, stay healthy and if you have the opportunity, re-energize your time and relationships with family, friends, colleagues and neighbors. I look forward to working with all of you in the upcoming year.  

God Bless, 

Brian Cooper 
ASA President 2020-2021
