Message from the Chair

As the summer winds down and we steer toward our sixth month of remote work, there is a noted change in the air. Although many if not most associations are struggling to stabilize revenue streams and stay mission focused during a time of tremendous upheaval, some good has come of this upheaval. Disruption forces change – forces us to look at new ways of doing things and sometimes dramatically so.

Reflections

I am honored to work with, and to now represent, New York City’s association community as a new member of NYSAE’s board, particularly at this moment in time as our city begins to emerge from the fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic and gradually move towards recovery.

Synergy Awards

Synergy Awards Recap

On August 20th we celebrated NYSAE’s Synergy Awards for the first time in a virtual format. As our NYSAE Chair, Joanne Barry, said in her remarks, “An important aspect to the growth and development of any profession is the recognition of the outstanding accomplishments of individuals and organizations within it, and the encouragement of those who seek to achieve excellence.”

Membership Benefits

Major Growth for NYSAE Organizational Membership

NYSAE Organizational Membership grew from just 8 organizations one year ago to 21 companies at copy deadline. How did that happen? The category was originally created exclusively for Regular Members-- associations and nonprofits—but now Associate Members, including vendors and supplier partners, have taken advantage of this membership model for their entire team. Plus, NYSAE is no longer just for the chief executive. Our programs now serve all staff levels and departments, including meetings, communications, education, membership and emerging leaders. If you are paying for two or more NYSAE members at your organization, now is the time to join, renew or bump up to the Organization Membership model. Contact Holly Koenig to find out about benefits and costs.
