Get the Most Out Of Your ASA Membership
Professionalism, pride, involvement, and community spirit - these may be empty words to some, but to ASA members, they are a promise.  A promise that subcontractors can pull together to improve their businesses while they improve the community they serve.  Founded in 1966 so subcontractors could have a place to turn in an industry that was generally hostile to their needs, ASA has become a source of leadership and influence for the Construction Industry. There is so much to gain, if we work together.

You can exercise your rights, improve your business, and improve your community - and you can do it in three easy steps: 1) attend the bi - monthly chapter membership meetings, 2) volunteer for an ASA-RGV Committee, and 3) read ASA publications.

Bi - Monthly meetings feature informative speakers who can help you improve your method of doing business.  To help guide the industry's future while giving something back to your business community, volunteer for an ASA committee.  Through a committee you can help shape legislation, improve relations with other members on the construction team, or assist in charitable projects for your community. It's easy and takes only a few hours a month.

ASA's educational information is the best in the industry.  Your business cannot afford to be outside ASA's inner circle of subcontracting expertise, which can help you find fair subcontracts, get paid promptly and market your services more effectively.  Contact your chapter directors to find out how you can get more out of your membership.
