Accounts Receivable & Payable Managers

The AR Managers community is for those professionals who either oversee the credit and accounts receivable team for their organization or perform the functions in a smaller entity.  This group will focus on the extension of trade credit, collection, communication, invoicing and various organizational techniques.  As with all communities, team leadership will be a natural topic of discussion.

Finance Managers

Financial Management in wholesale distribution often brings a unique set of challenges as you’re expected to work in and across so many functions of the business. Whether directly responsible for AR, AP, Purchasing, IT, or working to support those areas the financial team is critical to the effective management of the operation. The ASA Connect Finance Managers community is made up of CFO’s, Controllers, Accountants, VP’s of Finance, and other roles responsible for overseeing financial aspects of the distributor. During our monthly virtual meetings, we will address challenges members face and share our experiences to develop best in class responses.

Training Managers

ASA Members rely on their training managers to source and develop content, motivate their employees to learn and grow, and help leadership bridge the gap between where the company currently is and where leadership wants it to be. But where can these trainers go for help? Right here! This ASA Connect Community will be THE place for training managers to network with each other, share best practices, and learn from their peers.

Human Resources Managers

It all starts with our people. Today’s HR Manager plays a vital role in the health of their companies and issues related to safety, compliance, compensation, and recruiting make up only part of their ever-expanding job description. The ASA Connect Human Resource Managers Community uses a proven peer to peer networking model of facilitated experience sharing to address common challenges to develop best in class solutions. Join in monthly with other HR professionals across the country to tackle some of your pressing issues.

Purchasing Managers

The Purchasing Manager community is designed to fit the needs of the professionals who either oversees a team of buyers or is the head purchaser for a smaller entity. Either way, the group will focus on purchasing techniques, methods, analysis and software capabilities. As a word of caution, we have to be careful to avoid any discussion pricing, special terms or anything that could be construed as collusion or anti-trust.
