Steps
Fetch ascaonline.org to confirm the association is currently operating (membership, learning center, director communications)
Fetch ascaonline.org/certification-asca-c.html for ASCA-C program details
Confirm ASCA-C is described as an annual certification process for individuals working in professional snow and ice management
Check for any explicit statement of merger or dissolution before assuming ASCA folded into another body — none was found as of this check
Cross-reference ANSI's SDO listing for ASCA (webstore.ansi.org/sdo/asca) if standards-development status matters to the task
Known gotchas
ASCA is smaller and less commonly referenced than SIMA — don't assume obscurity means it's defunct or merged; treat each as evidence, not proof, and re-check close to the bid date since org status can change
ASCA-C is a separate credential from SIMA's CSP/ASM — an RFP citing one is not satisfied by the other
The association's public site is thin on detail (blog/portal links); primary confirmation of an individual's ASCA-C status still requires contacting ASCA directly
