ASA NEWS:
ASA
Announces Updated On-Line New Member Renewal and Join Process
In the next few weeks,
ASA's on-line member application and renewal processes will be completely
automated, with the exception of vetting Associate Member applications and
non-credit card payments. This change will help protect the integrity of the
ASA member certificate. All members will
receive a new member certificate. The
new certificate doesn't cancel the existing certificate, however companies can
start to use their new certificate as soon as it is released.
While companies already
have the option of paying on-line, the following will be accomplished upon
completion of payment:
- Immediate
issuance of Member Certificate and availability to download via the
website (only the primary contact has on-line access to the digital copy)
- Certificates
will include a QR reader Code, so when shared, the recipient can check the
code for member status as long as, they have a QR Code reader
which is a free download to a smart phone.
- Renewal
notifications will also be automated. Companies will automatically receive
notices, and when paid on-line will have access to their new certificate.
If companies do not pay by their expiration month, the system will no
longer show their on-line company directory listing.
- There
are other enhancements like updating member information and adding
additional contacts to receive ASA updates.
