Members are at the heart of all we do. Enhancing member experience and expanding membership through service, engagement, and value are critical priorities. By delivering new programs, creating community and belonging throughout the organization, and partnering with our state component societies, ASA grew its membership to an all-time high of more than 60,000 members.
We’re looking to the future with our Member and Customer Relationship Strategy to explore new benefit offerings and personalized experiences to strengthen our relationship with all anesthesiologists — based on data and insights gleaned through the biannual Member Value and Satisfaction research — across practice types and settings, career stages, and subspecialties.
Our advocacy efforts advanced multiple ASA strategies in support of the economic well-being of anesthesiologists’ practices and patient access to safe, high-quality anesthesia care. Working at both the state and federal level, and in tandem with our state component societies and members across the country, we achieved successes on a wide variety of policy issues throughout the year.
