I held my first meeting as ASA president and was impressed by the volunteers who gathered for our winter strategic retreat in Southern California. LEAD, an invitation-only event for ASA volunteers and past presidents, drew nearly 100 attendees.

In the cold, gloomy Midwest, I aim for two daily goals: 30 minutes of light exercise and learning something new, often from the American Supply Association website, which I highly recommend.

The new president of the American Supply Association (ASA) shares his 18-year journey, highlighting ASA's value in networking and equality among wholesalers.
