Executive Director's Report
Jennifer Swinney, ASA San Antonio
August has been a busy and productive month as we continue building momentum for the new association year.
Our Young Professionals Group hosted a successful “Backpack to School” Mixer on August 4 at Little Woodrow’s. Thanks to the generosity of our members, we collected more than $3,000 in school supplies benefiting Ascension DePaul Services and Child Advocates of San Antonio (CASA). Thank you to our sponsors Comfort-Air Engineering, Dunnam Safety Management and KCM Cabinets for supporting the event.
We also continued providing valuable member education through our monthly Safety Update and CPR/First Aid Training. Offering relevant, affordable education and safety programs remains an important part of the value we provide our members.
Looking ahead, we have a full fall calendar of education, networking and member programs, including our ASA Pour Off Mixer on September 24 at Aggie Park. We are also continuing to focus on member engagement, committee involvement and creating opportunities for our members to connect and build stronger relationships.
Thank you to our Board, committees, volunteers, sponsors and members for your continued support and for helping keep ASA San Antonio strong, connected and moving forward.

ASA MIXER "BACKPACK" TO SCHOOL
After a summer hiatus, ASA San Antonio was thrilled to bring everyone back together for our “Backpack” to School Mixer, hosted with the ASA Young Professionals Group on August 4 at Little Woodrow’s!
We had a fantastic turnout, and it was terrific to reconnect with so many familiar faces as we gear up for another exciting ASA year. Even better, our members once again showed what generosity and community are all about. Thanks to everyone’s incredible support, we were able to donate more than $3,000 in school supplies to Ascension DePaul Services and Child Advocates San Antonio (CASA), helping local students start the school year with the supplies they need.
A special thank you to our generous mixer sponsors: Comfort-Air Engineering, Dunnam Safety Management, and KCM Cabinets, for helping make the evening such a success.
Thank you to everyone who joined us, donated, and helped us kick off the new ASA year in such a meaningful way. It was great to be back together!
