During last month's ASA Annual Meeting, members of the Associate Division approved a name change. Manufacturers, manufacturers reps and others who belong to ASA will now be referred to as "Vendor Members."
The change was precipitated by the Executive Council of the Division, who felt that the term "Vendor" was more reflective of the growing integration of manufacturers, reps and service suppliers into the ASA organization as a whole. The full ASA Board of Directors unanimously agreed, and during the November 1st meeting of the Associate Members, the group agreed to change their name to "Vendor Member Division."
