I was looking for an experience to share and get feedback from Peers across the US. Being able to work out issues with peers who have different experiences and varied structures to their business models. This allowed a more creative problem solving approach where I was allowed to brig solutions to my own company that were out of he box.

This program helps connect with peers and learn best practices from others in my position. I liked the group size; it was small enough that everyone participated. Keep them going!

David Shepard | The Collins Companies

I'm new to HR and wanted to connect to existing professionals. I enjoyed the conversations and problem solving collaboration of the group and the ability to voice my opinion and share ideas.

I enjoy working with and sharing information with peers. I rarely walk away from an encounter without learning something of value for Torrco. It is a very small time commitment and well worth it. I liked sharing thoughts and ideas and seeing what others are doing around like topics.

It’s been a great experience connecting with fellow ASA members. Our monthly Marketing meetings provide an open atmosphere where we can learn from one another and share some of our best practices which we all benefit from. I truly appreciate what ASA is doing to help all of us grow our businesses.
