Committees 

ASA Metro Washington Committees work to implement the goals of ASAMW and provide valuable insight on the issues facing the subcontracting industry. Participation in these committees enables members to have a strong voice in the programs in which ASAMW is involved.  Contact Ike Casey, [email protected]; 571-237-7101 if you'd like to volunteer!

PROFESSIONAL COUNCIL: The ASA Service Members listed below have volunteered to provide complimentary consultation in their field of expertise as a free service to ASA’s subcontractor and vendor members.

TESTIMONIALS:

"Last week while we were running payroll, I was asked about a garnishment situation that we had not faced in the past.  Am I an expert on garnishments? No!  But I am the person in the company who has to solve these problems.  I knew I needed the right answer by someone who was an expert, but I didn’t want to pay for an expert.  Then I remembered a little blurb on ASA National’s website about member benefits.   Did you know that ASA members receive complimentary (that means FREE) human resources services, provided by SESCO Management Consulting, including telephone and email consultation? On Friday I sent them a short e-mail.  On Monday morning I got a detailed response to my issue and an invitation for me to call a VP there if I needed further clarification.   Problem solved.  Thank you SESCO, and thank you ASA."

"We had a client (a design professional) that had not paid us on a small job. They said they had not been paid by their client. After many months of excuses, I called one of the attorneys on the Professional Council list. She wrote a letter to my client. A week later the check was in the mail! When I asked how much I owed her, she said there was no charge."

"A whole bunch of new government regulations came out at one time. We knew they applied to us, but with all the different jurisdictions in the DC area, things overlap and become confusing. Once we figured out the questions we needed to ask, I called one of the law firms on the ASA list. They were really helpful and said they would get back to me in a couple days. Two days later I received answers I could trust."
