I recently attended a standards committee meeting where the subject of certification was raised. 

Never has it been more important for all of us to engage in advocating for our industry and companies than today. 

I have a bit of a reputation (well-earned, I might add) of being a stickler for superior customer service.

We are in an age where every distributor must be asking themselves, “What is their next?”. We understand and honor the history and the success that all of our businesses have enjoyed.

MONTH AFTER MONTH, the industry calendar is the most visited page on ASA’s website because all of our industry’s major events appear in one place.

ASA strives to provide members with leading education, business intelligence and advocacy programs so that they may remain leaders in the industry. An expanding area of value is diving deep within a member’s business and partner with them in elevating the capability of their teams and ultimately their profitability.

Next month, nearly 90 ASA leaders and volunteers will gather in Southern California to hear solutions presented by the three issue strategic-action teams (ISATs) that were established to develop solutions to the pressing threats impacting our industry and the way our members will need to compete by 2027.

Despite our best intentions, safety professionals focus sharply on compliance. Our attention locks on the hundreds of regulatory pages promulgated by OSHA, DOT, EPA, etc., as we decipher the necessary steps to stay out of trouble.

It is a true honor to have been chosen to be your ASA national president for 2019, which is our association’s 50th year leading our industry.

Finding new employees will remain a challenge, ITR Economics says.
