ASA provides a resource designed for staffing industry professionals interested in being part of valuable mentoring relationships—the ASA Mentor Match program.

Mentor Match allows members to make valuable industry connections, define career goals, and gain insight from staffing peers. The program is meant to help staffing professionals grow professionally and network with fellow ASA members. Participants are matched for a six-month period (during a January–June cycle or a July–December cycle).

ASA is now accepting applications for the six-month cycle that begins in July—the deadline to apply is May 31. Visit americanstaffing.net/mentormatch to get started as a mentor or as a mentee.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission issued a new rule prohibiting employers from entering into new noncompete agreements with employees. 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, the newest member of the ASA legal team—associate general counsel, Lisa Soronen, Esq.—discusses the forthcoming ban on noncompete agreements and highlights important points you must know to ensure your business is in compliance.

At the ASA Staffing Law & Compliance Conference, May 16–17 in Washington, DC, the session “Fortune Telling: Forecasting 2024’s Legal and Political Outcomes” will include a discussion by legal and policy experts on the expected fate of the FTC ban.
