WELCOME AUCTION PROFESSIONALS
It is an exciting time to be a part of the auction industry! Now more than ever the public needs our services to conduct the business at hand. No matter what part of the auction industry you find yourself, we hope you are busy and successful.
It is extremely important that it be known to all; the ASAA is not only for auctioneers anymore. We welcome all professionals associated with the auction industry. Also included are vendors that provide services to auction companies or the auction industry in general.
As most of you know, today’s marketplace demands that we conduct our businesses different then we have in the past. Our members must be willing to embrace current trends and the future. We too, the ASAA must adapt to these trends.
The ASAA Board of Directors is committed to a progressive organization.
We feel our membership deserves a more progressive association. One that provides the services our members have asked for. The leadership needed to guide our organization forward. The education needed to stay informed of new technology. Provide a community of active participation and mentoring.
WE ARE EXCITED FOR THIS NEW CULTURE AND HOPE THAT YOU ARE TOO!
What will these happening? For now there are some simple and minor changes taking place. For example we have employed an Association Manager. We are also going “GREEN”! Only electronic correspondence, except when mail is absolutely necessary, the board of directors has gone from 11 members to 5. More CHANGES will be coming soon!
