Changes – Moving in So Many Different Ways
WE HAVE MOVED OUT - Please note that the mailing address for all our customer service correspondence is no longer in Farmington Hills. Both Alice McComas (our Assistant Director) and I are still in Michigan and fully embracing the “Work from Home” office trend. The postal forwarding service has been very hit or miss (mostly miss), so checks and other correspondence have been delayed, returned, or somehow swallowed by a black hole somewhere outside Detroit.

ASA 2021 Shotcrete Convention & Technology Conference - Rescheduled |
|
The impact of COVID-19 proves to be further reaching than anyone would have imagined six months ago. After much deliberation and feedback from our members, ASA’s Board of Directors decided to postpone the 2021 Shotcrete Convention & Technology Conference* until 2022. It became apparent that we would not be able to provide the same unique opportunity in 2021 to explore and showcase shotcrete applications and innovations to the standards previously associated with ASA Conventions.
This decision also acknowledges that the opportunity to network and connect with experts in the shotcrete industry contributes significantly to attendee participation. We look forward to providing these opportunities again when it becomes safer and more feasible to do so.
SAVE THE DATES:
ASA 2022 Shotcrete Convention & Technology Conference
February 27 – March 1, 2022
