Our own Kristen Harris was recently chosen by the American Staffing Association to serve on a special council for the ASA's professional sector. Kristen will advise the ASA board of directors on sector-specific issues including priorities for the year and advising staff on educational programs and services. Over 14,000 staffing firms in the US belong to the ASA. We especially like how they provide important and timely industry news so we can pass our best practices on to you!
And lastly, Happy 200th Birthday Columbus! There are lots of events happening to celebrate our bicentennial this year. Check out http://200columbus.com/ for a complete list.
