Organizational Priorities
Background
The 2020 strategic framework sought to address the real-time challenges of the community with the goal of helping associations better fulfill their missions. To accomplish that ASAE focused on three areas: 1) understanding the industry through the lens of CEOs and c-suite constituencies; 2) serving the broader community more efficiently with omni-channel and modular formats for member products and services; and 3) tackling comprehensive workforce challenges, including diversity, equity and inclusion as well as career pathways for professionals.
After soliciting member feedback during a volunteer leadership retreat, ASAE’s board of directors is now working to fill the gaps between the ASAE of “now” and what ASAE will resemble when we reach Destination 2026. To that end, below are the priorities for ASAE in FY 2024.
