Last Chance to Share Your Thoughts With ASA—You Could Win a Gift Card

This week is your last chance to participate in the annual ASA member satisfaction survey. The survey has just eight questions and should take you about three minutes to complete.

A link to the survey was sent to staffing professionals at ASA member companies earlier this month, and responses are due this Friday, May 29. To ensure data integrity, the survey is administered by ClearlyRated, the association’s satisfaction survey partner.

In appreciation of your time, when you participate in the survey ASA will automatically enter you into a drawing for a chance to win one of five $100 Amazon gift cards. If you have any questions or did not receive a survey link, contact Tim Hulley at research@americanstaffing.net or 703-253-1154.
