ASA Members Take to Capitol Hill During Historic and Turbulent Times.
ASA members participating in NetworkASA 2013 in Washington, D.C., Oct. 2-4 experienced a wide range of emotions during their stay in our nation’s capital. From direct participation in the government shutdown to a Capitol Hill lockdown to the culmination of the week’s events in a “knockdown” event between political power couple James Carville and his wife, Mary Matalin; to say the least it was a memorable time to attend ASA’s annual convention. From start to finish, past attendees and those brand-new to the event alike were entertained, educated and had the ABILITY to network with their fellow industry peers in a variety of different ways.
Strong educational events led the way with the attendee-favorite 2014 Industry Economic Forecast featuring Alan Beaulieu, which once again attracted a packed house. Additional powerful speakers and networking sessions between the more than 100 distributor firms and 80 manufacturing companies in attendance rounded out an impactful industry event delivering on a theme of One Industry, One Voice, One Future.
