Every year at the Annual Meeting, ASAE confers three individual honors on distinguished leaders in the community:

- The Key Award honors association CEOs.
- The Professional Performance Award honors top-level association executives who are not CEOs.
- The Academy of Leaders Award honors industry partners.

All three honors were first awarded in 1981. The Key Award dates back to 1960.
