Dear ASA Members, 

I hope that each and every one of you are having a beautiful September.  The leaves are getting ready to fill the landscape with excitingly vibrant colors, and I am excited for all of the hard work that all of you are doing within the subcontracting community.  Together we are strengthening our industry every day, and we all should be invigorated for the future.   

There are exciting activities on the horizon here at the American Subcontractors Association.  Later this month we will have our Fall Board Meeting in Washington DC.  We will be discussing many issues important to the future of ASA, and I’m looking forward to meeting and discussing topics important to you in our nation’s capital as our organization continues to grow! 

In addition, the Executive Board will be meeting with the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) Executive Board to continue the work of improving the relationship between subcontractors and prime contractors.  As we all know, this partnership is vital to the subcontracting industry, and will continue to be at the forefront of the work we are doing here at ASA.   

I am proud of the work our chapters have been doing, including multiple initiatives from coast to coast.  Our Subcontractors Legal Defense Fund has been supporting crucial efforts such as legislative victories in Ohio, and the continued support of the Miller Act, which help ensure protections for subcontractors.  I encourage all of you to remain vigilant in the fight for the needs of subcontractors.  Our industry needs you!  

Looking forward, we are less than six months away from SUBExcel!  Keep March 4-7, 2020 in Las Vegas on your calendars, where we will all not only gather together to celebrate all of the successes we have had, but also dig deep to prepare for the successes of the future.   

I look forward to seeing those of you who will be in Washington DC soon, and will see the rest of you in the months to come.  The American Subcontractor’s Association is at its best when we stand together. 

Sincerely, 

Anthony Brooks, 
ASA President
