The
primary AISA Mission is to market the benefits of shippers'
associations to
the international and domestic shipping community and to establish
programs and services
that will help shippers' associations have a better and stronger profit
center.
To that end AISA will work to maintain the independence
and unregulated environment of the shippers' association industry in
the international
and domestic shipping community. AISA will work with all governmental
agencies such as Customs and Border Protection, Federal Maritime
Commission, the State Department,
Transportation Security Administration, and Homeland Security to ensure
that shippers' association interests are protected on issues such as
cargo liability, security, and the separate and unique legal identity
and status of
shippers' associations in the transportation industry.
We will make your voice
heard at
Government and non-government meetings to assure that shippers'
sssociations are
not blind sided on issues that are important to our members such as
collective
actions of ocean carriers on service contracts and ocean carrier
antitrust immunity. AISA
will establish communication vehicles
that will allow members to receive timely information pertinent to the
operations of their shippers' associations.
We are dedicated to providing educational conferences each year which
will enhance the ability of shippers' associations to improve the
effeciency of operations.
A continuing benefit of membership in the American
Institute for Shippers'
Associations, Inc., is the opportunity to receive and read AISA NEWS,
the newsletter for the shippers' association industry. AISA NEWS
provides a weekly look at key developments affecting shippers'
associations in Washington DC, overseas, and in the
courts. To learn
more about AISA NEWS and the benefits of membership in AISA, please
