Program Recognizes Exemplary Leaders from Under-Represented Groups in Association Management
 One of AMC Institute's members, Association Management Partners & Executive Directors (AMPED) in Madison, Wisconsin, recently had a team member recognized by ASAE's Diversity Executive Leadership Program (DELP). Marechiel Santos-Lang was selected to be a member of the 2015-2017 DELP scholars. DELP is a prestigious two-year program that recognizes individuals from under-represented identity groups who demonstrate exemplary leadership skills and a commitment to advancing the association community. The twelve scholars selected for this class will participate in an accelerated leadership program of education, mentoring and volunteer service in the association community.
During the two-year program, DELP scholars will experience membership and volunteer service in ASAE; registration to ASAE’s Annual Meeting & Exposition and two other ASAE education programs selected by the DELP scholar, including travel and lodging; waiver of the Certified Association Executive (CAE) examination fee; and access to industry leaders who could serve as career coaches or mentors.
In her role at AMPED, Santos-Lang serves as associate director of the Americas Committee for Treatment & Research in Multiple Sclerosis and executive director of the Environmental Design Research Association.

Recently a draft law from the People's Republic of China garnered attention from the U.S. association world. The draft law seeks to regulate foreign business groups and their business in and with NGOs in China. On behalf of association executives and industry partners, ASAE responded to the proposed legislation to announce their concerns on the strict hurdles that nonprofits would have to jump through in order to operate in the country.
For more information on the subject, please visit ASAE's website here and for their submitted response, click here.
