People are starting to savor the outdoors and enjoy the fantastic weather we’ve had lately – at least in Colorado. It’s a good time to focus on safety (there’s never a bad time) – not just in construction, but for our families as well. When people are playing outside – make sure they’re wearing the right shoes, and kids are wearing bright clothes. Be aware of your surroundings, weather forecast, time constraints, and just make sure you plan. Bring out your inner boy or girl scout, mom or dad.
I wanted to make sure you knew that the ASA family is growing. In addition to the new chapter in Austin, Texas, which we welcomed earlier this year, we’re bustin’ out big time in Washington. Rob Scott of Scott Coatings is president of the group, but of course there’s a bunch of people doing the hard work of making this chapter a success. If you’re reading this, and NOT a part of ASA National or one of our chapters, call up the state contact and see what’s happening in your neck of the woods.
Speaking of which, it’s renewal season, so be on the lookout for invoices. If you value your association with ASA, let others know how great this group is. If not, tell us, and we’ll do our best to figure out how to work for your success. Members come up to Richard, Matt, and I, and continue to say how much this association means to them – both personally and professionally. It’s a good feeling, but we know that it’s all of you that are making that happen. Thanks – and continue reaching out to the industry.
It’s when like voices come together for a greater good that we’re heard. Our annual DC Fly-Ins are back, and we’ll be on the Hill talking to our Representatives on June 14. If you want to be a part of the change you want to see, here’s your chance. Registrations are now closed, but there’s lots going on the three days we’ll be in DC. On Thursday, we’ll have a board meeting and our annual business meeting. This meeting will be in-person, AND virtual. If you can’t attend in person, please use this link to register and attend virtually. Be a part of this association.
You’ve should be receiving our FASA (Foundation of ASA) emails about how we can address two very serious issues in the construction industry – diversity & inclusion and suicide prevention. We all think we’re doing the best we can with the resources we have. But are we? Take the time to step back, evaluate when there were things you could have done better on these two issues. Why not take the pledge to invest in suicide prevention, invest in doing things better, for a more successful future for both you and your company?
Plus…we’re excited to announce we’re launching the ASAdvantage Health Plan. See all the details on the website.
