American Supply Association Education Foundation

Advance Your Ability.

McKenna Design Group is the agency of record for the American Supply Association Education Foundation (ASAEF). ASAEF tasked McKenna Design Group to increase awareness and demand for ASA University, its 5 colleges and a signature program, the Master of Distribution Management (MDM) certification which asks the plumbing, heating, cooling and piping (PHCP and PVF) industry to double down on education and workforce development. 10,000 Boomer generation employees in the U.S. retired every day. ASA commissioned a U.S. Labor Study to understand the impact for the wholesale-distribution industry. The objective—increase members’ interest in developing their skill sets and engage the broader ASA University and a formal Learning Management System (LMS). All education programs strive to advance members’ ability which translates into wholesale-distributors’ increased performance and profitability.

McKenna Group has also been charged with developing the association sponsorship program for the Karl E. Neupert Endowment Fund. Through generous corporate contributions, ASA University has been able to develop critical programs like MDM to be the cornerstone of the industry’s commitment to leadership and training among wholesaler-distributors, manufacturers and supply chain partners.

“McKenna Design Group has helped us communicate a brand-new, innovative certification program to an industry reluctant to go out of their comfort zone. The amount of research and understanding they put into a program was astounding. The creative and collateral is unlike anything we’ve done – professional, succinct and judging by the amount of candidates we already have for the program –very successful!”

Amy Black– Executive Director, ASA Education Foundation
