WASHINGTON— ASAE and the Association Societies Alliance (ASA) jointly announced today a formal partnership agreement that will benefit association professionals nationally and at the state and local level. The agreement centers on three opportunities for collaboration: leadership; the ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition; and advocacy on behalf of the association profession. Among the opportunities formalized in the agreement, leaders from ASAE and ASA will meet regularly to liaison on various initiatives to advance the interests of the association community. ASAE will also work more collaboratively with local SAEs on volunteer engagement and in-market activation of unique opportunities in the host city for its Annual Meeting & Exposition. ASAE and ASA will also collaborate as appropriate to strengthen the association community through one advocacy voice at the national, state and local levels, and to amplify Power of Associations messaging for key audiences.
