Six association programs—all aimed at helping to "solve some of the world's problems"—have been named 2018 Summit Award winners , ASAE announced Wednesday.
ASAE launched The Power of A campaign in 2009 to increase awareness about issues that impact associations and to spotlight the expertise and resources available in the association community for policymakers and other key audiences, according to the association. The Summit Award is the highest level of recognition. This year's award winners will be recognized during ASAE's Power of A—Summit Awards Dinner Oct. 3.
"Associations strive to educate and support their members which in turn creates opportunities to impact society," ASAE CEO John Graham said. "Summit Award programs help tell the story about how associations leverage their members' expertise and other resources to solve some of the world's problems."
