MEMBER ALERT: ASA Affinity Program’s
Members have contacted ASA asking if ASA endorsed a vendor or asked the vendor to call them. ASA has a limited number of affinity programs. The most recent member inquiries were about a company in which ASA has not investigated their work product. A list of companies that ASA does have an affinity program with and a description of the member benefits offered to you through them, can be viewed at www.aviationsuppliers.org/Membership-Benefits. **Please note that ASA does NOT sell our list of members. However, the member directory is available online, at tradeshows and at the Annual Conference and ASA cannot stop all egregious use.

Unique URL’s on ASA Website for Members
ASA is now offering members the option of having a unique URL linked to their listing in the Membership Directory. For more information and to get your company’s unique URL, contact Dawn Carberry.
ASA is an Accredited Registrar for AS9100 and AS9120
ASA, using the trade name ASACB, is now accredited to conduct AS9100 and AS9120 audits. ASACB’s accreditation is through ANAB and allows ASACB to issue accredited certificates for AS9100 and AS9120 which, among many things, means that the audit results and certificates will be listed in the IAQG OASIS database. If you are interested in an AS9100, AS9120, ISO 9001 or ASA-100 audit, contact the group that knows the aerospace and distribution industry – ASA!
Misuse of ASA Trademark
ASA recognizes the value of ASA’s logos for users, and ASA actively protects the Association name and benefits given to its members. There are three different logos, all of which are trademarked: ASA Membership, ASA-100 Accreditation and ASACB. If you see any company using one of ASA's logos illegally, please report them to us and we will determine the best course of action. In addition to checking the Member Directory and ASA-100 list, please visit the Illegal Use of Logo page if you have questions about a company claiming affiliation to ASA.
