ASAE, Association Forum Expanding Learning Opportunities for Chicago Associations
WASHINGTON— ASAE and Association Forum are collaborating to increase “in-person” educational offerings in the Chicago metro area, which is the second largest association market in the United States.
Expanding opportunities to enhance career development and meeting association community needs are a shared priority for both ASAE and Association Forum. The leaders established a collaboration framework that puts the association professional at the center, builds on the strengths of each organization’s programming, and reinforces their joint commitment to the future of associations.
“We are excited to work with Association Forum to provide members with more opportunities to develop their skills and leadership abilities, strengthening their individual careers, and advancing their associations.” said ASAE President and CEO John H. Graham IV, FASAE, CAE.
Upcoming programs include:
“As a board member of both ASAE and Association Forum, I believe this collaboration will be beneficial to the association community at large.” said ABSI Board member and Forum Board member Paul Pomerantz, FASAE, CAE, Chief Executive Officer at the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
Programs are being hosted throughout the Chicago-metro area including: Marriott Marquis, Loews Chicago Downtown hotel, and ADA Conference & Meeting Center in downtown Chicago; ASA Conference Center in Schaumburg; McCormick Place and ASGE Institute for Training and Technology in Downers Grove; and Loews Chicago Downtown Hotel.
ASAE and Association Forum anticipate the programs will bring participants from across the midwest. ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition will be in Chicago from August 18-21.
