ADVOCACY / GOVERNMENT RELATIONSAmerican Subcontractors Association California Inc. (ASAC) is your eye on the government. We’re watching to make sure laws that affect you as subcontractors are in YOUR favor. This is the group that successfully sponsored Notice of Completion legislation! Directed by the ASAC Government Relations Committee and Board of Directors, a professional Legislative Advocate works on behalf of subcontractors and suppliers in Sacramento. His job is to represent you and your needs to the state legislature, and protect your interests. Not everyone enjoys the political arena, and not everyone can participate – ASAC provides people who can and will take on that responsibility for you, so you can tend to your business. This year the association is concentrating on Indemnification Reform so each party on a project will only be liable for its share of fault. This issue is a complicated one, and we are fortunate to have very competent people on our Government Relations Committee who can speak for subcontractors and suppliers at the various meetings being held as the legislation moves through the political process. GROUP PURCHASING Together American Subcontractor Association California members have buying power! Participating in the group programs may save you more money than you pay in dues!
NETWORKINGASAC brings subcontractors and suppliers together, because no company is in this industry alone. All members are welcome at ASAC quarterly meetings, held alternately in the northern and southern parts of the state. These meetings are where decisions are made that affect you as subcontractors and suppliers – issues are discussed and plans are made for legislative work. From these meetings come the proactive government relations stances taken by ASA California and promoted before the construction industry and the state legislature. EDUCATIONYou can’t run your business without knowing the latest laws and methods. ASAC can help keep you and your employees informed. Members receive the newsletter ASA/California from the state association along with timely faxes and news items. The website, www.asacalif.com has information to help your company stay connected and up to date. MARKETING The Board of Directors of ASAC has as its goal the marketing of ASAC and its Members. The Annual Membership Directory produced by ASAC includes members’ names and addresses, as well as their trades. This directory is distributed to all other ASAC members, as well as the general contractors affiliated with the various chapters of California. In addition, January of each year ASAC is profiled in the California Construction magazine produced by McGraw-Hill and disseminated throughout California. All members of ASAC are listed in the profile, to show size and to market your company. Both of these marketing pieces offer advertising opportunities to our members and to the suppliers and service people who want to reach the construction community. As we gain name recognition for ASAC, we'll help promote your company as well. Phone
