ASA-HC is here to help during and after COVID-19! No images? Click here April 2020 In Good Times, in Bad Times and in Bizarre COVID-19 Times The past couple of weeks have been surreal. As we continue to grapple with COVID-19 and the immense effects it has on families, businesses and society as a whole, ASA-HC is working to bring members important, up-to-date information. Our newly created COVID-19 Resources webpage provides the latest news and helpful insight to guide individuals and companies in the construction industry during this confusing time. That being said, we’d be remiss if we failed to recognize the other incredible organizations working to ensure individuals and companies in our industry have the necessary tools and information pertaining to COVID-19. There are many outstanding construction industry organizations here in Houston — and even more when you expand to a statewide view. ASA-HC works in concert with many of the local groups and is a member of the Texas Construction Association (TCA), the legislative arm not only of Texas’ ASA chapters, but 15 other Texas specialty trade associations as well. Through the combined efforts of these organizations — and members throughout our city, state and nation — the construction industry can count on us to be there when we’re needed the most.

We wrapped things up with an online-only NON-event which gave members the chance to show off the ways they made a difference to the Texas Construction Association (TCA) PAC without suffering through some boring banquet — or even bothering with pants.
