In the nine years I’ve been a member of ASA, I have seen the value of this association grow and its importance to our industry expand. When I joined nine years ago, I never imagined one day I would be selected to lead this group.
Well, here I am! Looking back it was exactly 10 years ago when 60 volunteers first gathered in Clearwater Beach, Fla., to map out our first ASA long-range strategic plan. At that meeting, the volunteers who spent nearly two days defining our first strategic vision probably said quietly to themselves, “There’s no way we can accomplish all of what we just laid out.”
