Dear members,

NYSAE provides a forum for association leaders to engage in meaningful discussions, share best practices, and become better equipped to drive change in the fields of association and not for profit management. We thank each of you who participated in 2019 and we invite all of you to join us again in the new year as we promise you our programs will achieve your most ambitious goals.

Our volunteer committees have been hard at work. Here below are just some of the events and programs already in the works for this year. Save the dates, please forward to others within your organization, and register now so that you've secured your spot.

Fri., Jan. 10 – Executive Women in Nonprofits Engagement Group, "The Courage to Lead."
Thur., Jan. 23 – How-to Series Webinar: The State of Marketing Automation
Mon.-Wed. Feb. 3-5 – CAE Kickoff
Fri., Feb. 21 – ExecConnect – Executive Compensation
Wed., Feb. 26 – Meet NY – Education, Trade Show, Silent Auction and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical

More cutting-edge programming is being planned for this Spring, including 20: minute "Coffee Break" webinars, a behind the scenes tour of CNN and Planned Giving for Associations, part of our "How-To Series." We are also relaunching our NextGen and Marketing & Communications Engagement Groups, complimentary to NYSAE members.

The New Year always brings with it a sense of excitement and possibility, of growth and renewal. In that spirit, many of us resolve to make changes in our personal and professional lives, whether to exercise more, drop a bad habit, or even adjust our work-life balance. What can happen, however, is that we try to commit to overly-broad goals and end up frustrated with our lack of progress. But not this year! Please keep checking our Calendar of Events page and make "Engaging with NYSAE" one of your New Year's Resolutions. You will be glad you did.

 

Sincerely, 

Holly Koenig
