Alison Smith, ASA Marketing Coordinator

The ASA Community recently introduced a new feature called ASA Connect, where members can interact with each other in a central forum. ASA Connect facilitates open dialogue, encouraging members to begin a new discussion or post questions, comments, and advice. The new all-member forum includes the following benefits:

• Collaboration with other ASA members
• Exchange of resources and best practices
• Discussion of critical industry issues
• Input from members outside of your current communities
• Networking with other industry experts

Using ASA Connect is simple when keeping the following in mind:

• All posts will go to the entire membership
• Messages cannot be commercial by nature
• Clear, informative subjects are more likely to elicit responses from experienced users
• As much information as possible should be provided when asking questions

The ASA hopes to promote communication between members through this new forum. In the coming weeks, discussion participants will be able to earn badges for their profiles, including the following:

• ASA Board Member
• ASA President Chapter Officer
• PStat®
• GStat
• New Member
• Longtime Member
• Volunteer
