“For the past 17 years, DELP has been instrumental in enhancing the leadership skills of scholars and building a pipeline of diverse, successful professionals in our industry,” said ASAE President & CEO John H. Graham IV, FASAE, and CAE. “The Detroit Metro CVB and Larry Alexander have supported the program from the beginning. Because of their investment, we have worked together to develop executive-level talent for associations.”

DELP is an accelerated leadership program of education, mentoring, and volunteer service in the association community. Candidates who have at least three years of mid-senior level association management experience or at least one year of experience as an association CEO (as of the date of their application) and are members of a racial/ethnic minority group, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender, or have a disability are encouraged to apply. 

During this two-year program, 12 DELP scholars will experience membership and volunteer service in ASAE. They will also have access to industry leaders who could serve as career coaches or mentors.
