Membership provides strong response to Councils for Training, Showroom Managers and Warehouse/Operation Managers.

Implemented this year and introduced in the July edition of ASA News, ASA’s Networking Councils offer expanded networking and educational opportunities to your employees based on job function. Currently established are Councils for Training, Showroom Managers and Warehouse/Operations Managers.

Response was so strong to the inaugural meeting of the ASA Training Council, it has SOLD OUT!

The two-day event on August 14 & 15 in Chicago, IL, features Dr. Susan Levering, a well-known distribution human resources expert speaking on the importance of training for every distributor.  Pauline Mueller of Consolidated Supply Co. in Portland, OR will share her real-world experience on how to implement - and maintain - a training program at your company.  Networking events, interactive workshops, and a session to plan the future direction of the Council round-out the agenda.

Future meetings of the Training Council are being planned now – if you would like to join the list for information on the next event, please visit www.asa.net or contact Kevin Price at 508-655-5833 or kprice@asa.net.
