American Subcontractors Association of Arizona

What American Subcontractors Association of Arizona does

The American Subcontractors Association of Arizona (ASA of Arizona) is a non-profit trade association founded in 1984 and headquartered at 4105 North 20th Street, Suite 230, Phoenix, Arizona. It operates as an independent local chapter affiliated with ASA National and serves as the unified advocacy, education, and networking body for subcontractors, general contractors, service providers, and materials suppliers in Arizona's commercial and residential construction industry. Membership spans four tiers — Subcontractor (revenue-based dues of $1,500-$3,000/year), Partners in Construction for vetted general contractors ($2,500/year), Associate Members ($1,600/year), and Materials Suppliers ($1,600/year) — and is reported at 400+ companies.

Its core "product" is a portfolio of membership services rather than commercial software: legislative advocacy (federal fly-ins, state legislative work, coalition participation in Arizonans for Fair Contracting), structured networking (monthly mixers, signature events including the AZ Construction Expo co-hosted with ABA and AMCA, golf tournaments, bowling tournament, gala), and education (ASA University, Attorney's Council, Build Her Up women-in-construction program, Health & Safety training, Academy for Construction Excellence partnership). Sub-brands include ASA University, Build Her Up, ASA Legal Council, ASA Podcast Council, Partners in Construction, AZ Construction Expo, and the Academy of Construction Excellence.

The organization's digital infrastructure is built on Glue Up, a third-party association management platform that provides the website CMS, membership directory, event registration and ticketing, and native mobile applications for iOS and Android. Revenue mechanics rely on recurring annual dues, event registrations and sponsorships, and annual corporate sponsorships (Alliant, Blue Vine LLC, CBI, Next Level Growth). The organization is led by a small full-time staff (Executive Director Brandi Monroy, Membership Specialist Nikki Rutledge, Events Coordinator Madeline Santin) with strategic direction from a member-board of directors.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• American Subcontractors Association of California: State-level ASA chapter operating the same membership-dues-plus-events-plus-advocacy model in California. Closest structural analog to ASA-AZ, but operates in a separate geographic territory and therefore does not directly compete for members.

Broad incumbents

• National Association of Home Builders: National trade association for the residential construction industry with state and local affiliates. Overlaps with ASA-AZ's residential subcontractor member segment and competes for related dues spend, particularly from single-family and multifamily trade contractors.
• American Subcontractors Association (ASA National): National umbrella trade association for subcontractors. ASA-AZ is an affiliated local chapter; ASA National provides the overarching brand, Subcontractors Legal Defense Fund, ASAdvantage purchasing program, and federal advocacy infrastructure that ASA-AZ layers local programming on top of.
• Associated Builders and Contractors: National trade association for the commercial construction industry with state chapters. Broader scope than ASA-AZ (includes GCs alongside subs), but competes for the same subcontractor member mindshare and dues spend across overlapping trade categories.
• Associated General Contractors of America: National trade association for general contractors with state and local chapters. Overlaps with ASA-AZ in serving the broader construction ecosystem and competes for member attention, sponsorship dollars, and event participation in overlapping geographies.

Direct peers

• Associated Minority Contractors of Arizona: Arizona-based trade association representing minority contractors. Co-hosts the AZ Construction Expo and serves an overlapping Arizona construction industry member base with a similar membership-based dues and event model.
• Arizona Builders Alliance: Regional trade association for general contractors and builders in Arizona. Co-hosts the AZ Construction Expo with ASA-AZ and AMCA. Directly comparable in membership model, scale, and event-driven engagement within the same Arizona construction market.

Others

• Construction Financial Management Association: National nonprofit association for construction financial professionals. Operates a similar trade-association model serving the construction industry ecosystem, including financial and accounting members that overlap with ASA-AZ's associate and materials supplier segments (e.g., Blue Vine LLC, BeachFleischman).
