🎉 We're celebrating a major milestone at ASCI – our 27th Anniversary! 🥳

Supporting bp for more than 20 years has been a defining part of ASCI’s journey, and along the way we also secured our first federal contract through GSA several years ago, continued to grow and diversify, and most recently launched our Fleet Readiness Center East, contract, another milestone made possible by our team’s hard work and dedication.

Leadership is not just about how you respond when things go wrong. It is about what you do before they do.

In her Women's Business Enterprise National Council - WBENC article, our President and CEO Christine Hopkins shares a powerful reminder that waiting too long can quietly limit your options.
