While ASBA has a great inventory so far, we’re currently in need of new material, particularly as pertains to new technologies for the industry. Have an idea for a Position Paper and want to write one? Get in touch with the appropriate Division President and offer your suggestions.

A few guidelines

• Position papers should be limited to a one-page discussion of the topic.
• Position Papers should not include brand names or proprietary systems.
• Position Papers should address an issue other industry members are familiar with.
• Position Papers should be the writer’s original material (rather than borrowing from a previously published article or presentation).
• Position Papers can be counted toward Certification points, since they include technical writing.
