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 we’re here.

ISAE makes stronger members who lead stronger associations. As a leader, that starts with you. Through advocacy, education, and professional resources, we’ll help you navigate business challenges; meet, recruit, and train new talent; and 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
