About The Association
Meeting Subcontractor's Needs
SAM seeks to provide informative and factual business practice information such as industry payment practices, change order procedures, and jobsite experiences. We do this through a business dinner program that also serves to alert members to changes in rules, regulations, and laws affecting daily business operations. We hold seminars with in-depth information on subjects requested by members, and provide up-to-date reports of court filings, bankruptcies, and job or tax liens as part of our monthly meetings.
