ASA Connect: Information Exchange 7-16-24

“HOW TO DEAL WITH TOO MUCH WORK!”

Join your peers for a moderated discussion of the promises and pitfalls of “too much work.”  With certain markets running strong, significant increases in administrative and technology requirements, and a shortage of field personal, estimators, and project managers, dangers can lurk in what might appear to be a fantastic opportunity to grow your company.  Potential topics can include:

• “Too busy” to focus on anything but urgent issues/crises
• Overworked staff can burn out, make mistakes
• Hiring and training processes can suffer
• Staff may be asked to perform new or expanded roles
• Quality may suffer
• Delays can cost you financial (and relationship) damages
• Administrative support for billing may be delayed or incorrect
• You have to pay your bills but you are not getting paid
• Cash flow issues can put you out of business!

What Are Information Exchanges?

Subcontractor Information Exchanges (SIEs) are business education sessions that provide members the opportunity to connect directly with speakers and share experiences on strategic management topics, key operational topics, and leadership and culture issues.  Information Exchange meetings are held once each quarter at a monthly ASA Connect meeting: July, October, January, and April.

(Optional) Business Practice Interchanges (BPIs)

All ASA Connect events (except the Annual Meeting in June) are followed by an optional, members-only, attorney-moderated, confidential Business Practice Interchange (BPI) session to discuss upcoming or ongoing projects, people, pitfalls, and processes.

Food & Beverages

Other than the Annual Meeting in June, which includes dinner and an open bar, lunch and soft drinks are included during all ASA Connect events, and attendees may order alcoholic drinks on their own tab.

Sponsorships

Sponsorships include one ticket and may be purchased at any time up to one week prior to the ASA Connect event in order to allow time for the design and printing of the sponsor’s sign.

When Can I Register?

Registrations for each ASA Connect event are available for five weeks prior to the ASA Connect event, up to the end of the day prior to the event.
