American Supply Association members made the most out of their recent visit to Washington, D.C. During the final day of NETWORK2019, which celebrated ASA’s 50th anniversary, volunteer association leaders and staff members went to the White House to sign the Pledge to America’s Workers initiative.
The American Supply Association (ASA) markets itself as “an INDISPENSABLE resource, committed to giving its members the ABILITY to adapt, grow and succeed.” Right now, “adapt” is the key word in this commitment, because if you fail to do so, growth and success will be beyond your reach.
Connecting the industry’s leading distributors, manufacturers and reps to share best practices among peers, on a regular basis, is a powerful formula for success.
The extraordinary generosity of this industry makes it possible for ASA University to develop and deliver education, tools and resources aimed at elevating its workforce.
Over the last 36 months, I had the opportunity to lead strategic planning workshops for associations, buying groups, independent distributors and one manufacturer.
Former American Supply Association Rick Fantham has told the story before about how national distributor Hajoca, of which Fantham is its president and CEO, had submitted its membership resignation to the national association about a decade ago.
