What Are Membership Sections?

ASA niche communities—called membership sections—are a free benefit of ASA membership and support the needs of firms in five industry sectors: health care; industrial; placement and recruiting; professional; and technical, IT, and scientific.

Grow Your Business and Get Solutions With Sector-Specific Resources

Association members can take advantage of opportunities to network with a community of peers and acquire specific solutions and new ideas through a variety of ASA products, services, tools, and resources.

New resources are continually being developed. Visit the Web page of the section or sections you are interested in for details on specific tools and resources.

To join a section, fill out the membership sections form. Once you join, you'll receive information pertaining to your sector of the staffing industry. Interested in expanding into a new niche? Join as many sections as you like and gain knowledge to broaden your business.

Each section is led by a policy council that advises the ASA board of directors on sector-specific issues, coordinates the section's activities, and designs programs and services to meet the unique business challenges faced by these sectors of the staffing industry.
