ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The American Subcontractors Association will celebrate its 50th anniversary during its annual convention, SUBEx- cel 2016, March 3-5, 2016, in Miami, Fla. "As we prepare to celebrate this important milestone and reflect on our association's many accomplishments over the past 50 years, we recognize that none of these triumphs would have been possible without the strong leadership, membership, and valued collaboration with our fellow indus- try associations that we have been so fortunate to have over the years," said 2015-16 ASA president Letitia "Tish" Haley Barker, president of Ha- ley-Greer, Inc., Dallas, Texas, one of the largest curtain wall contractors in the United States. "These individuals and organiza- tions form the foundation upon which our Association stands, and we will continue to rely on them to represent and carry out our ideals, mission, and values over the next 50 years and be- yond." Since 1966, ASA has served as the united voice for construction sub- contractors and helped improve the business environment for these firms through professional education offer- ings during SUBExcel workshops and online webinars, influencing numer- ous court decisions, protecting sub- contractors' legal rights in construc- tion documents, and effecting state and federal public policy changes on such issues as prompt payment, con- tingent payment, retainage, mechan- ic's liens and surety bonding, risk al- location, and many others. "Subcontractors across the coun- try are scoring new victories every legislative session," said Phil Nevlud, chair of the ASA Task Force on Gov- ernment Advocacy. "And success breeds success. When subcontractors in one state are able to help pass a law that protects subs' rights, it makes it easier to promote similar legislation in another state." Some examples of ASA initiatives include eliminating pay-if-paid claus- es, eliminating retainage, reforming mechanic's liens and surety bond laws, and limiting inappropriate risk shifting. Protecting subcontractors' legal rights in construction documents and representing their interests in the ne- gotiation of various model documents is another key goal of ASA. The ASA Task Force on Contract Documents, charged with these responsibilities, approaches its task with a seriousness and intensity equaled by few others.
