Brockus is One of Eight Recipients of National Award

OVERLAND PARK, KS / ACCESSWIRE / August 7, 2024 / NEXTAFF today announced that Brandy Brockus has been awarded a Women in Leadership Scholarship by the American Staffing Association.

Brockus joined NEXTAFF in late 2021 as the Franchise Support Coordinator and quickly advanced to the role of Franchise Support Manager through her dedication and expertise. In her current position, she plays a crucial role in supporting Franchisees by advocating for their needs, providing targeted training, and enhancing processes to ensure efficient operations.

Established in 2020, the Women in Leadership Scholarship program honors rising stars who show exemplary professional growth potential and a commitment to a career in the staffing and recruiting industry. Brockus is one of only eight awardees chosen from across the country.

"Brandy exhibits the same characteristics we see in successful franchise owners," said Cary Daniel, Co-Founder & CEO of NEXTAFF. "Brandy is determined, hard-working, passionate, and constantly striving to improve herself as well as those around her."

"This year's Women in Leadership scholarship recipients represent the future of our industry, showcasing remarkable potential and unwavering commitment to advancing their careers in staffing," said Brenna Barnett, chair of the Women in Leadership scholarship program taskforce. "The Women in Leadership scholarship program is designed to support and empower these talented women, providing them with invaluable opportunities to network, learn, and grow."

Each recipient will attend two ASA events at no charge: THRIVE Live, Oct. 21-22, and Staffing World^®2024, Oct.22-24 at the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center in Nashville, TN.  

These scholarships are made possible with the generous support of donors to the ASA Foundation. In 2023 and 2024, notable donations were received in memoriam of Marietta Vickrey and Loretta Penn, two women who inspired many staffing industry leaders.
