ASAE Fellows

The ASAE Fellows distinction is a professional recognition for individuals who have demonstrated leadership, foresight, engagement, and vision. It is not a leadership development program. 

ASAE Fellows are a group of association professionals who have been recognized for their achievements, innovation, and strategic thinking. Additionally, they have been recognized for their success in actively making a difference in the association community. Their purpose is to give back to the association community while inspiring and developing extraordinary future leaders.

They champion associations’ impact and leadership on industries, disciplines, and the professions they serve. In collaboration with and in support of ASAE, they help to create solutions to the most critical issues affecting the association management profession. 

As leaders in the association community, Fellows strongly embrace and model ASAE’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. ASAE's Diversity + Inclusion Statement
