Association Executives

As an Association leader, you have a lot of responsibility. Today’s members have different expectations, as do staff, boards, and volunteers. Technology plays a bigger role, and the landscape is always changing.

It can be a rewarding career. But it’s not always easy. That’s why ISAE is here.

Why ISAE?

ISAE makes stronger members who lead stronger associations. As a leader, that starts with you.

We help you:

  • Navigage business challenges
  • Recruit and train top talent
  • Connect with state and national peers who share your goals

“As the executive director of a national association with no peer organizations in Indiana, I often felt alone in my job. Since joining ISAE, however, I have a group of friendly faces willing to share ideas, wisdom, and support. Without question, my membership in ISAE has made me a better leader—and it has made my association better as well.”

Joe Skeel, CAE, Executive Director, Indiana State Bar Association
