CSA PROUDLY ANNOUNCES ITS NEW WEBSITE

The Contract Services Association unveiled its new website yesterday to rave reviews from its users. “This new site is designed around the input of our members, and reflects what they want to see," said Chris Jahn, President of the Contract Services Association (CSA). "It provides a clearinghouse for information, and features many new tools that will allow our members to network with each other, register for events, and obtain the latest information on public policy issues. It also helps CSA reach out more effectively to our key stakeholders in the media, Congress and federal agencies and share with them the value that our members provide to American taxpayers every day. ”

The new site (www.csa-dc.org) was designed by CSA member company Glimmernet Technologies (www.glimmernet.com), located in Laytonsville, MD. It features easier navigation through the use of dropdown menus and clearly defined buttons. Furthermore, CSA is adapting its members-only database for use on the web. Available in the coming weeks, CSA members will be able to search for other member companies by NAICS code, Small Business Category, size, and even by city and state. Said Jahn, “We believe this feature will be the most valuable one on the site for our members.”

“Many of our member companies joined for the networking opportunities,” continued Jahn. “The new website will help them find compatible teaming partners and give them the benefit of having this data wherever they are, provided they have a connection to the Internet.”

Other features include an online store, a job posting page, and an easy one-step process for signing up for CSA’s many professional development events, publications, and conferences.

Jahn stressed to all, “Keep checking back to the CSA site to keep abreast of the newest features.” The website can be accessed at www.csa-dc.org.
