The end of a calendar year has all of us looking back to the events, support, and education we offered our members in 2022. And just as it is in your organizations, NE/SAE would not exist without support and engagement of our members. 
 
As the executive director for NE/SAE, I look forward to getting to know you during 2023. In addition to the annual conference, I hope you'll join us for new NE/SAE in the Neighborhood gatherings and the Winter and Fall events.
 
We are always looking for new ways to serve our our members. I encourage you to contact us with comments, suggestions, or concerns. Your input makes our organization stronger.
 
Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2023!

 

NE/SAE members are invited to share your experiences, insights, and ideas with your colleagues at the 2023 Annual Meeting, June 15-16, 2023, at the Mohegan Sun Resort in Uncasville, Connecticut. 
 
We're looking for strategic, big-picture, and conceptual topics across a variety of function areas of association management. Sessions may be geared towards CEOs/executive directors, professional staff, and everything in between. We would love to see sessions that provide tangible takeaways that attendees can implement right away. Sessions that incorporate elements of interactive learning, small group work, and peer-to-peer learning are highly encouraged.
