Benefits such as access to more travel providers, having
a platform to address common concerns, industry
discounts and access to the latest information about
the industry were cited by advisors who were a part of
these trade bodies. “ASTA is the only organization that
advocated for the agents,” said one. Another was happy
about the way ASTA had represented the advisors
throughout the pandemic in front of governmental
agencies. Being able to attend training and networking
events was also cited as a trade membership benefit.
