Associations NOW Presents will feature prominent podcast hosts from within the association community, engaging in candid and in-depth conversations with industry experts. Each episode will explore key topics relevant to association professionals, discussing the challenges and opportunities in the field today, and highlighting the significant impact associations have on the economy, the U.S., and the world.

The inaugural episode was recorded live at the ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition in Cleveland earlier this month, featuring KiKi L'Italien, who lead a conversation on sustainability in the association space. The episode is now available at https://associationsnow.podbean.com, or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts, including Apple, Spotify, iHeartRadio and Amazon Music.
