The US job market has taken a hit due to widespread layoffs and furloughs due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  As such, the Executive Board wants to remind everyone that society has a defined Hardship program.  You can count on ASSP at this time of challenge.  Society will extend a 1-year complimentary membership, with full membership benefits.  The form is available here for submission.  Please tell a friend or member that the Greater Boston Chapter is here to assist.  We can connect members looking for employment with job postings and encourage the sharing of open positions so all can apply.   We are stronger as a group.
