The American Supply Association (ASA) recently announced the additions of Natalie Forster and Judy Waszczuk to its staff.

Forster joins ASA as its director of communications where she will lead the association’s public/media relations strategy, its social media efforts, as well as overseeing a variety of ASA-member-focused online and print communication platforms.

Forster spent the last six years as chief editor of industry trade publication Supply House Times (ASA’s official media partner), while also serving as group editorial director of BNP Media’s Plumbing Group. BNP Media is the parent company of Supply House Times. Prior to joining BNP Media, Forster was the editor of Southern PHC magazine from 2017-20.

“We are fortunate to be able to welcome a talented and familiar industry face to the ASA staff,” ASA CEO Mike Adelizzi said. “Natalie will immediately strengthen our communications efforts across multiple platforms, greatly enhancing our ability to communicate the important work ASA continues to do in its unwavering mission to be the unified voice that drives the success of the PHCP-PVF supply chain industry.”

Waszczuk joins ASA as staff accountant. Prior to joining ASA, Waszczuk worked in accounts receivable, collections and eventually became the credit manager at a food contact manufacturer. She also worked for a decade-plus in accounts receivable and collections for a family-owned giftware import/distribution company.

“Judy has been a great addition to the accounting department,” ASA CFO Aaron Scheiwe said. “Her experience and skill set will help enhance and streamline ASA’s accounting functions.”
