Fond Farewell to Stephanie Brown
After 9 years, Stephanie Brown has decided to take a new position at a non-aviation trade association in the Washington, DC area. As ASA’s Director of Programs, Stephanie has been instrumental in the growth and management of the ASA-100 audit program, the annual conference, quality committee and many more things at ASA. Her departure leaves a void at ASA and she has been working with staff to ensure a smooth transition. ASA-100 companies will receive an email prior to her departure with new communication points. Her last day is Friday, November 14th. The ASA team wishes her all the success in the future.

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 – Aerostar Ventures Pte. Ltd. added*
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.
