Wednesday, April 15, 2026 / News Celebrating MDM Spring Graduations; May 27 Class Open for Registration! This spring, we’re proud to celebrate the newest group of graduates from ASA’s Master of Distribution Management (MDM) program. Over the course of the year-long journey, participants immersed themselves in ASA’s exclusive leadership curriculum, built meaningful connections with peers across the industry, and developed ambitious Capstone projects designed to deliver real, measurable impact within their organizations. This latest cohort showcased a wide range of innovative thinking and practical application. One graduate focused on implementing a comprehensive new safety program, while another developed a KPI-driven bid analytics engine to strengthen sales performance and decision-making. Each Capstone reflects the unique challenges and opportunities within the participant’s business—demonstrating the program’s ability to create value across organizations of all sizes.

This program is designed for emerging and established leaders ready to elevate their strategic thinking, expand their industry perspective, and drive meaningful change within their organizations. With a highly interactive format and a curriculum tailored specifically to the wholesale distribution industry, MDM offers a unique opportunity to invest in leadership growth alongside a network of committed peers.
