WASHINGTON—ASAE invites association professionals to submit entries for the 2015 Power of A Awards competition. It recognizes how associations leverage their unique resources to solve problems, advance industry and professional performance, kick start innovation, and improve world conditions. The deadline to submit entries is Thursday, April 30, and winners will be announced in July.

The awards encompasses five categories: The Power to Enrich Lives; The Power to Create a Competitive Workforce; The Power to Prepare for the Future; The Power to Innovate; and the Power to Make a Better World. To learn more, visit the Power of A Awards.

“The Power of A Awards showcase the unique impact associations have in America and around the world. It is inspiring to see the many ways in which these organizations have applied their resources and expertise to addressing a specific problem. Associations play a unique and important role in raising the stature of their respective industries and professions, and they go beyond their everyday mission to provide real-world solutions and improve our quality of life,” said Paul Pomerantz, CAE, CEO of the American Society of Anesthesiologists® and chairman of The Power of A Committee.

There are three tiers of recognition, Summit, Gold, and Silver awards. Six organizations will receive the Summit Award, which is top honors.

Summit Award winners will be recognized during the Power of A Summit Awards Dinner at the National Building Museum on September 30, 2015. Last year, more than 1,000 association executives came together in Washington, DC to celebrate the winners.
