The 2009 Spring Forum presented by ASA’s Young Executives (Y.E.) Division on May 18-19 in Charlotte, North Carolina, proved to be an outstanding success. Despite the tough economy and many corporate restrictions on travel, the program had 33 attendees representing 23 different companies, of which eight were manufacturers and vendors.

ASA Young Executives fully embrace the exchange of ideas and
best practices with one another at the Spring Forum. (L-R) Rogers Earl, Jr. from Valley Supply

“This conference call was the first of a series of virtual meetings for members of ASA’s Young Executives Division.” shared Murin. “The members of the Y.E. Officers Council met on May 18th to continue their ongoing strategic conversation about how to enhance the value of Y.E. membership beyond what is currently offered. In an effort to recruit new members (the Division currently has 59), individuals are invited to join the Division and participate in the virtual meetings between now and the end of the year free-of-charge. It is anticipated that the virtual meetings will take place once per quarter, including one as a follow-up or precursor to the annual Forum program.”
