Membership Spotlight
  
My name is Asif Ahmed. I’m the executive director at Zzeem. We are an association management company which provides operational support for membership organizations—typically with an all-volunteer Board, no office and no full-time staff. I’ve been a member of CSAE for over seven years. My reason for joining CSAE was to broaden my network. After becoming a member, I realized that it offered a lot of professional development pertinent to my field of work, which was unique and extremely helpful for my professional growth. I got my CAE® designation recently which has helped me increase my knowledge and skills in the association sector. I highly appreciate CSAE’s role in expanding my network and knowledge in the association sector. Connect with me on LinkedIn.
