ASA has announced the promotion of Stephen C. Dwyer, Esq., to ASA president, effective July 1, 2023. He most recently served as senior vice president and chief legal and operating officer at ASA.

“This is an exciting and well-deserved promotion in recognition of Stephen’s many years of contributions and leadership,” said Richard Wahlquist, chief executive officer at ASA. “The ASA staff, board of directors, and I look forward to working with Stephen to further advance the interests of the staffing, recruiting, and talent solutions industry and the millions of people we place and employ every day.”

Dwyer, who has been instrumental in leading the association’s advocacy efforts, championing the industry’s commitment to excellence and compliance, and overseeing the association’s internal operations, brings more than 20 years of expertise to his new role.

“Stephen’s wealth of experience and deep understanding of the staffing industry make him the ideal leader to partner with ASA CEO Richard Wahlquist, guiding our association forward,” said ASA chair Threase Baker, TSC, CSP.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service recently published a legal memorandum that addresses fixed-indemnity health plans promising employers big tax savings—and the risks to employers of participating in such plans.

The ASA Legal Line monthly video series features a member of the association’s legal team and addresses critical legal, regulatory, and legislative topics that have direct implications for your business. In the latest installment, ASA senior counsel Ed Lenz discusses the memorandum and summarizes ASA legal counsel’s analysis of the IRS position.
