SUMMARY:How to Prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders in Construction
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Hard Hat: Stopping the Strains and Sprains that Sideline Your Crew\nIn construction\, we talk a lot about big-site safety — hard hats\, harnesses\, and high-vis. But the reality is that strains and sprains are the “silent” injuries that actually sideline our crews most often. They might not always make the front page\, but they definitely impact your people and your productivity. \nJoin us for our Quarterly Safety Meeting on April 29th\, hosted by DHE. Experts from Athletico Physical Therapy will lead a session focused on the unique physical demands of the trades and how to stop these common injuries before they start. \nWhat we’ll cover:\n\nThe “Why”: Why strains and sprains remain the leading cause of injury in the Michigan trades.\nProactive Prevention: Practical stretching and movement techniques that can be done right on the jobsite.\nEarly Intervention: How to spot the signs of a strain before it becomes a long-term problem.\nThe Rehab Roadmap: Practical measures for rehab and returning to work safely after an injury occurs.\n\nThe Essentials:\n\nWhen: Wednesday\, April 29 | 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM\nWhere: DHE | 4475 8th Ave\, Grandville\, MI 49418\nCost: Free for ASAM members.\n\nLunch: Provided

SUMMARY:The Hard Hat Hustle
DESCRIPTION:Career Pivots & Power Moves with the Women Who Lead Construction\nWomen in Construction Week 2026\nConstruction careers rarely follow a straight line — and the most impactful ones are often built through bold choices\, unexpected pivots\, and a willingness to invest in yourself before the path is clear. \nIn honor of Women in Construction Week\, American Subcontractors Association of Michigan invites you to a candid luncheon conversation featuring three respected industry leaders who have built careers bigger\, broader\, and more influential than they originally imagined. \nThis is not a surface-level panel. It’s a real conversation about: \n\nHow careers actually grow inside the construction industry\nWhat it takes to step into leadership (and stay there)\nWhen to lean in\, when to pivot\, and when to bet on yourself\n\nOur panelists will share personal career stories\, hard-earned lessons\, and the strategies they’ve used to navigate leadership\, family dynamics\, visibility\, and long-term fulfillment — both inside and adjacent to construction. \n  \nPanelists\n\n   \n\n    Julie Byrne – President\, Veneklasen Construction \nLeadership\, longevity\, and navigating career growth alongside family dynamics in the industry. \n \n\n\n   \n\n    E.B. Sonheim – Director of Marketing\, Feyen Zylstra \nBuilding influence beyond a job title\, championing the connection between business and community\, and modeling leadership through authentic visibility. \n \n\n\n   \n\n    Jenny Waugh – Vice President of Economic Growth\, Grand Rapids Chamber | Past Chair\, ABC Board \nReinvention\, board leadership\, and what it looks like to pivot into new impact while staying rooted in construction and family business. \n \n\n  \nWhat You’ll Gain:\n\nReal insight on career pathways\, not highlight reels: Hear how these leaders actually grew — including the challenges\, missteps\, and turning points that shaped them.\n\nActionable advice you can apply now: From investing in yourself to finding mentors\, navigating networking\, and deciding when to say yes (or no).\n\nPerspective beyond job titles: Learn how leadership shows up across operations\, marketing\, ownership\, advocacy\, and community impact.\n\nConnection that lasts beyond the room: Built-in time for table conversation\, shared experiences\, and relationship-building with peers.

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.\n\nGet your Tickets Here!\n \nCo-Hosted with:
