ASM moves into new offices at One Washington Mall
In nearly 60 years as an association, ASM has never had its own office (instead being hosted by the law office of Corwin & Corwin, counsel to the association). That has changed this spring, however, as construction crews from ASM member companies turned vacant space next to the law firm into a dedicated new office suite for ASM. The project came together quickly and without a hitch, thanks to the professionalism of ASM members. As this ASM sponsored page goes to press, we will be moving into the new office, and interviewing for a new staff person who will now have space to work. Visit ASM's website to see a complete photo gallery of the project, in progress.

State legislature ends session without passing PLA bill - by Joe Camilo

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?
New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.
