And that's why we needed a podcast. On What's Up SSA, you'll hear directly from our team to get the inside scoop on industry legislation efforts, how to maximize your SSA membership benefits for your bottom line, and where to find the education and events that will connect you with the people and resources you need to grow your business. What's Up with the SSA? You'll have to listen to find out. Look for What's Up, SSA? with your host Erin Lightfoot coming soon to Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Podcasts.
