“We are excited to hear Jessi Alexander perform at this year’s The Summit Dinner, which is also the first event of ASAE’s Centennial celebration. Thank you to the Nashville CVC, a long-time supporter and sponsor, for bringing tremendous talent yet again. The Summit Awards dinner is a great opportunity for the community to come together to honor six organizations who are making a difference in their communities and in the world,” said interim ASAE President and CEO, Susan Robertson, CAE. “This is even more important this year as ASAE celebrates 100 years of supporting associations as they continue to make society smarter, safer, and better.”

Gaylord Hotels, Music City Center, and the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp (Nashville CVC) contribute the entertainment for the Summit Awards Dinner and are longtime supporters of the association community.

“We are once again honored to showcase Nashville talent at the Summit Awards Dinner,” said Butch Spyridon, President and CEO, Nashville CVC. “Not only has Jessi penned top country and pop songs, she is an incredible performer herself. She’s traveled the world with us promoting Nashville, and we look forward to having Jessi help honor the award recipients this year.”

ASAE will host over 1,000 association and nonprofit professionals and supporters of the association sector at this year’s Power of A-Summit Awards Dinner. This marks the 20th anniversary of the Summit Dinner and will serve as a prime opportunity to celebrate associations as ASAE prepares for its Centennial in 2020. The event was created to recognize the excellent work in the association community to improve the quality of life through exemplary community-based programs. The dinner also supports the Power of A Fund, which increases awareness about the wealth of knowledge and resources in the association community with policymakers and other audiences.

The six organizations being honored for their work are: American Geophysical Union, American Society of Hematology, Georgia Association of Convenience Stores, IEEE Power Electronics Society, National Auto Body Council, and the Water Environment Federation.
