Celebrating 20 Years! – ASA Annual Conference

From our first conference with 90 to 265 attendees last week, the ASA conference has educated and helped build business for over 20 years. This year’s event was no different with educational sessions that covered business development and management, quality assurance, and legal/regulatory issues; networking events; and a marriage.

 

If you have any pictures from this year’s even that you want to share, please email me at dawn@aviatiosuppliers.org. Training certificates for attendees, if you did not receive yours at the end of the conference, should arrive in your mailbox this week along with a conference survey. Your feedback is important to us. If you haven’t already completed the survey please tell us what you think.

ASA is an Accredited Registrar for AS9100 and AS9120

ASA, using the tradename 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.
