American Staffing Association - January/February 2012

New in 2012: Free Webinars,
Digital Magazine

On Jan. 3, ASA president and chief executive Richard Wahlquist delivered some exciting news to the ASA membership: Effectively immediately, all ASA Webinars are free to ASA members.

As Wahlquist noted in his e-mail announcement—members spoke and ASA listened. The latest membership feedback survey revealed an overall need for more free professional development opportunities.

“ASA is proud to be the go-to resource
for everything staffing,” Wahlquist says.
“And it makes sense—particularly as
ASA members start a new year—to
enhance the association’s role and the
value of membership.”
