At the American Subcontractors Association of Arizona, advocacy is not just a focus, it’s one of our foremost top priorities. We are deeply committed to ensuring that subcontractors have a strong, united voice at the state level, and that their needs and concerns are heard by decision-makers who shape our industry.
Our Commitment
Subcontractors are the backbone of construction, and ASA of Arizona works tirelessly to protect and advance their interests. Whether it’s fighting for fairer legislation, ensuring safer working environments, or advocating for equitable business practices, we make it our mission to create positive change that directly benefits our members and the subcontracting community as a whole.
Recent Wins
One of our most significant recent victories includes the passage of SB 1182, a bill that empowered trades to start earlier on projects during critical hot months here. This achievement demonstrates the power of subcontractors’ voices when united through ASA. It’s proof that we don’t just advocate, we win results.
Advocacy for Safety
At the heart of our advocacy work is the goal of helping every subcontractor return home safely at the end of each workday. Safety is not negotiable, and ASA of Arizona continues to push for initiatives that protect the lives and livelihoods of subcontractors across the state.
Working Together: Arizonans for Fair Contracting (AFC)
ASA of Arizona proudly participates in Arizonans for Fair Contracting (AFC), a coalition of multiple associations united for the common good of subcontractors. Through AFC, we work side by side with industry peers to identify, address, and resolve issues that impact subcontractors. AFC meets monthly to stay ahead of challenges and ensure subcontractors’ voices remain strong and consistent across the state.
Our partnership with the DeMenna Public Affairs Group, a respected public affairs firm, plays a key role in our success. Their expertise and strategic insight ensure subcontractors have strong representation, enabling ASA of Arizona to advance policies that protect and empower our members.
Why It Matters
Advocacy is about more than policies, it’s about people. It’s about protecting subcontractors’ businesses, improving their working conditions, and safeguarding their futures. ASA of Arizona stands as a powerful advocate, ensuring subcontractors not only have a seat at the table, but that their voices lead the conversation.
