are relative and important to the staffing industry. In 2009, we dramatically increased our programming

Workers Compensation Issues, Social Networking, Immigration and Employment
Issues, Human Resources Discussion Panel, Credit and Collections Seminar,
Succession Planning for Your Business, Advising Clients through a Volatile
Environment, Branding in the Staffing Industry: Make an Impact with Candidates

2. Enhanced Paid Program Events at Member Discounts

We’ve increased the size, range, and depth of expertise of our Industry Partners in order to provide our membership great choice and benefits including access to trusted and qualified subject matter experts.

4. Legal and Legislative Representation

NYSA also keeps a lobbyist on retainer to serve the needs and interest of the staffing industry in the State of
5. CSP and TSC certification and credit hours
We understand and value the importance of education and training. We intend to hold workshops whereby NYSA members can take full training seminars to prepare for, test on, and become certified as an American Staffing Association’s Certified Staffing Professional (CSP) or Technical Services Certified (TSC). All NYSA educational events are qualified training hours towards maintaining CSP and TSC certification requirements.
• Certified Staffing Professional (CSP) - The CSP program enhances the competency and knowledge of labor and employment law of any professional who interacts with candidates, employees, and clients.
• Technical Services Certified (TSC) - The TSC program expands upon the subject matter of the CSP program by reviewing the labor and employment laws that have specific applicability to and relevance to technical, IT, and scientific staffing. Anyone earning the TSC will automatically earn the CSP.
6. Exciting Social Networking Events
Social
networking events are a top suggestion from our members in regards to what they
would like to see in the NYSA programming calendar. NYSA is pleased to announce that in 2009, we
offered an exciting Halloween Party at the much-anticipated Carnival, located
inside Bowl-Mor Lanes. Members who
attended absolutely LOVED the event and so for 2010, we have added exciting new
venues for our social networking events including a Night at the Theatre, where
we will see a Broadway show at an incredibly low price and a Riverboat Cruise
Social where we will have an exciting night of dancing and fun on World Cruise
Yachts. Our Programming Committee is
also looking at adding sporting events and cultural activities to add to our
calendar.
7. Online Social & Professional Networking Groups
In an effort to keep NYSA current with the rapidly changing landscape of client and job seeker interaction in today’s on-line communities we’ve created NYSA Groups on the following four on-line professional and social networking sites available to NYSA Members ONLY:
· Linked In* is an online
network of more than 30 million experienced professionals from around the
world, representing 150 industries.
· Plaxo* is a different kind of address
book, one that leverages the power of the network effect to stay up-to-date. We
securely host address books for more than 40 million people (and growing
rapidly).
· Facebook*
gives people the power to share and makes the world more open and connected.
Millions of people use Facebook everyday to keep up with friends upload an
unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the
people they meet.

Myspace*
is an online community that lets you meet your friends' friends.
