ASA of Central Arkansas chapter President Blake Finnell, CertaPro Painters, and Adam Bingham, ACE Glass delivered the truckload to Gallery Furniture in Richmond where the supplies would be distributed to Houston area residents affected by Harvey.
ASA-Houston Chapter President Ron LaRicci, Camarata Masonry Systems, Ltd., and chapter Executive Director Brianna Wright were on-hand to thank them in person for the generosity shown by Houston's ASA family in Central Arkansas.
This act of kindness goes to show that being a part of ASA is much more than education and networking . . . it’s about being a part of a nationwide construction family.

On Saturday, Jun. 3, ASA-HC held its 11th annual Fiesta on the Beach at AIA's annual Sandcastle Competition on East Beach in Galveston. The members-only event offers free food and drinks and a cool, shady place to relax during the competition.
A HUGE thank you to the committee that puts this event together, the great crew that comes down on Friday to do the set up and works throughout Saturday to make the event possible, and the individuals who volunteer and hour or more of their time at the event to serve food and drinks to others. This event would not be possible without all of the individuals and companies that support this event!

In conjunction with OSHA's National Safety Stand-Down week May 8-12, 2017, ASA-HC encouraged all members to do safety stand-downs on their jobsites and in their offices. A Safety Stand-Down is a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees about "Fall Hazards" and to reinforce the importance of "Fall Prevention." The purpose of OSHA's National Fall Prevention Stand-Down is to raise awareness of preventing fall hazards in construction.
Reported: 12,017 individuals from 34 ASA-HC member companies reported participating in Safety Stand-Downs across the city during OSHA's National Safety Stand-Down week May 8-12, 2017.
