SUMMARY:Building Smarter: The Executive’s Guide to Leading with AI
DESCRIPTION:Your company already has incredible intelligence. \nIt lives in the estimator who knows why one job went sideways five years ago. The superintendent who can spot a problem before it happens. The project manager who knows which client needs a phone call instead of an email. It’s buried in meeting notes\, project files\, and years of experience. \nWhat if your entire company could access more of it?\nThat’s where AI becomes a competitive advantage. \nJoin ASAM for Building Smarter: The Executive’s Guide to Leading with AI\, featuring Mike Novakoski\, President and CEO of EV Construction and EV Group\, for a conversation about what it looks like to build AI into the way a company thinks\, operates\, shares knowledge\, and makes decisions. \n\n \n\nMike brings more than 35 years of experience leading people and organizations\, building award-winning workplace cultures\, and challenging companies to think differently about how they grow. He is also the author of Right-Brain Justified and Become Unmistakable. \n\n  \n\nKey Takeaways | What You Will Learn\n\nStop thinking about AI as a tool. Start thinking about it as infrastructure. Build AI into how your company operates\, shares knowledge\, and makes decisions.\nYour company already has the intelligence you need. AI can help you unlock it. Capture institutional knowledge and make it more useful across your organization.\nThe companies that win with AI won’t replace their people. They’ll amplify them. Use AI to strengthen creativity\, judgment\, strategy\, and relationships.\nBuild the vision before you build the system. Define where AI belongs\, what it should support\, and what success looks like.\n\nWho Should Attend\n\nCompany owners and executives\nHR and marketing leaders\nConstruction and field managers\nSuperintendents\nAnyone looking to increase their AI advantage and leadership skills\n\nNOTE: This event is only open to trade contractors.  \nEvent Schedule\n2:00–4:00 PM: Keynote + Discussion\n4:00–5:00 PM: Networking \nRefreshments and beverages will be provided.

SUMMARY:2026 Annual Safety Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Annual Safety Breakfast\, one of Associated Builders and Contractors Western Michigan and ASAM’s most anticipated events of the year—where safety leaders\, industry professionals\, and partners unite under our shared mission of Protecting the Industry.\n  \nThis year’s featured keynote speaker is Astronaut Mike Mullane\, a retired Air Force Colonel\, veteran of three space shuttle missions\, and a member of the International Space Hall of Fame. Drawing from his extraordinary career—from flying 134 combat missions in Vietnam to launching aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery and Atlantis—Mullane delivers a riveting and unforgettable program on teamwork\, leadership\, and safety excellence.\n  \nIn his powerful presentation\, Mullane takes attendees inside NASA’s high-stakes world of human spaceflight to reveal how teamwork and safety discipline make the difference between success and tragedy. Using gripping stories\, humor\, and real-world lessons\, he demonstrates how every individual—whether in the cockpit\, the control room\, or on the jobsite—has a critical role in preventing “normalization of deviance” and building a culture where safety and accountability are non-negotiable.
