Mid-Level Association Professionals

Whether you’re a member of the executive team or a relative newcomer to the association world, it’s helpful to know that others share your same passion and similar challenges. ISAE is a community of peers and partners, supporting one another and the organizations they serve.

Because we make stronger leaders who lead stronger associations, we offer a variety of in-person and online education options, professional development resources, and networking events, enabling you to stay ahead of industry trends, learn best practices and grow professionally. And because we’re a statewide association, you can earn CAE credits while staying close to home—saving you time and your organization money.

“ISAE is THE place for association professionals to grow their careers. From the education to the blog to the networking opportunities, ISAE membership continues to be invaluable in helping me learn, connect, and adapt to the changing association management landscape.”

Shelly Pfenninger, CAE, Director of Marketing, Raybourn Group International
