An audible was called at the recent American Supply Association Winter Leadership Meeting held at the Ritz-Carlton in Sarasota, Fla. And the results were more than positive.
After a morning of strategic planning and small-group brainstorming, it was decided the usual afternoon session would be shelved in favor of a comprehensive evaluation of the association’s core pillars of networking, education, advocacy and benchmarking (business intelligence). The 70-some volunteer leaders in attendance on Florida’s Gulf Coast again broke into small groups (that featured representatives from each of ASA’s specialty divisions) to dive deeper into the pillar topic.
