2021 ASA Industrial Section Council

Committee Description
The industrial section council advises the ASA board of directors and staff on sector-specific issues and priorities. The council also develops sector-specific resources for ASA membership on an as-needed basis as well as coordinates professional development and networking opportunities for members in the industrial section. The industrial section serves firms that place workers in manufacturing, wholesale, retail, and industrial- and construction-based businesses, including warehouse, assembly, transportation, hospitality, and maintenance workers; food handlers; cleaners; drivers; tradespeople; machine operators; and day laborers.

Our Ideal Volunteer Candidate
We are looking for members with job titles ranging from director to business owner. Members should have at least 3 years of industrial staffing experience to qualify as a section council volunteer. We are also seeking one early career professional with less than seven years of staffing experience to participate on this council as well.

Goals and Priorities
The industrial section council will explore resources, education, and networking opportunities around the following topics that have been identified by the 2020 section council.

  • Drug testing for marijuana in industrial staffing
  • Affordable upskilling opportunities for small-medium size industrial firms
  • Attracting talent and minimizing recruiter burnout in the industrial sector
  • Employee safety and OSHA compliance
  • COVID-19 resurgence and returning to work: lessons learned to be prepared for future outbreaks
The section council will also explore additional relevant issues for professional development and networking opportunities for ASA industrial section members. The section council will plan at least 2 educational webinars as well as hold bi-monthly section networking calls.

Time Commitment
The time commitment for ASA section council members is 1-2 hours per month. Members are required to attend at least 75% of section council calls.
