WASHINGTON— ASAE today is announcing that six organizations will receive ASAE’s highest honor for the association community: the Power of Associations Summit Award, conferred for their work during the past year to celebrate and promote the invaluable contributions that associations make to America and the world.

Associations are uniquely positioned to address those challenges, both for their members and for the broader communities they serve,” said Mark A. Vasquez, CAE, senior program manager, IEEE TechEthics, and Chair of the Power of Associations Awards Committee. “My colleagues on the Awards Committee and I were greatly impressed by the leadership and innovation reflected in the work done by the recipients of the 2023 Power of Associations Awards. Whether large or small in size, they have demonstrated the power associations have in improving our local and global communities.”
