The AFSMI Difference: Advancing The Needs Of The Service Industry
AFSMI, as an industry association, plays a powerful role. Operating as a neutral third party, AFSMI can convene the biggest players in the industry, document best practices, define standards, and develop shared research that lowers operating costs for our members.
AFSMI, unlike other industry associations, is not satisfied with merely providing networking opportunities for its members. Working closely with our members to tackle the toughest industry issues they face, our goal is to be the trusted advisor to our members, marshalling our broad industry expertise for individual member benefit.
