AKA Associates originated from a dream, a vision of a unique company whose success was built, not by the ideas and actions of one person alone, but by the true collaboration of a team. With this aspiration and more than 25 years of sales and recruiting experience, Karen Banks founded the company in January 2001. Her progressive approach helped enlist associates inspired to actively participate in creating an employee-owned organization. The philosophy was simple and effective: Individual contribution and accountability result in collective prosperity. Teamwork, balance, and leadership are core values at AKA Associates, serving as the foundation for employee ownership and a modern, synergetic working environment. We share our successes and persevere together through challenging times. Our employees are genuinely connected to every goal, milestone, and each other. They are encouraged to participate at multiple levels, helping grow the company with their influence. Achieving our vision together are the values at the heart of AKA Associates. We know the success of our company depends on the people who help build it. And together, we achieve our goal, giving an extraordinary opportunity to extraordinary people.
