Founded in 1972, ABC-VA is the only association in Virginia that is dedicated to representing the interests of merit shop contractors. The Virginia Chapter is the leading provider of networking, education, political advocacy, and service to the commercial construction industry. ABC-VA has offices in Dulles, Richmond, and Norfolk.
These times are definitely strange. To brighten up your day, we thought we might share with you a photo (inside a photo) of our Blueprint Reading instructor, Thomas Hern of James G. Davis Construction (DAVIS) teaching in the classroom. Enjoy!

Did you know that HVAC systems should be checked before buildings reopen due to COVID-19? According to ASHRAE, "Ventilation and filtration provided by heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems can reduce the airborne concentration of SARS CoV2 and thus the risk of transmission through the air." We encourage you to consult with one of our trusted advisors who can help you navigate the best solution for your facility. Click the link https://bit.ly/35QX8gu to learn more.

ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation
We loved getting this photo of ASK kid Lauren, a two-time brain tumor survivor, smiling during her online tutoring session with Trilogy Mentors. Marisa, Lauren's mom, shares that she has many long term side effects and missed years of education, which means Lauren has to work so much harder than other children her age in school:
"As full-time working parents, when schools closed we felt alone, unable to help her and concerned her progress would slide backward. When ASK (Alma) called unexpectedly to offer Lauren an online tutor, I didn’t hesitate to say yes. Lynda, her tutor, is amazing and is helping Lauren, but she is also coaching us with a much-needed plan. I couldn’t be more grateful for this critical support."
Last year, we enrolled 36 ASK kids in Trilogy's one-on-one tutoring program. Today, we have 50 kids receiving this online educational help. More than ever, we're here to support Team Lauren Cherry and all of our kids as schools are closed. It's crucial that our kids continue to take part in learning as it provides a sense of normalcy and so they don’t fall behind in their studies. 🍎 🤓📚
If any of our ASK families need support or resources to access from home, please contact Alma Morgan or call the ASK office.
