ASA Turns 50 Welcome to the Celebration

On this day 50 years ago, a group of visionary industry professionals gathered in Washington, DC, with the mission of founding a new national association representing the interests of firms specializing in temporary help services. On Feb. 24, 1966, official articles of incorporation established the Institute of Temporary Services. The very next year, ITS held its first annual convention in Washington, DC, and produced the association’s first member publication, the ITS Newsletter.

Five decades later, Staffing Today is pleased to share the news about this anniversary celebration with a special look for today’s issue, which will appear throughout this commemorative year.
