“I wanted to thank you, MASAE, and Association Headquarters for your very kind consideration of my scholarship application this year. As always, the MASAE Conference & Exhibition is the highlight of my conference year and I thoroughly enjoy being in the company of my colleagues from around the Mid-Atlantic region. From my first meeting in 2008, I you have always made me feel welcome, and indeed, special, and I immediately recognized the unique value our association of executives has brought to my professional development. The event has always been a very educational and worthwhile experience, and a lot of fun! This, coupled with the unparalleled level of outstanding networking opportunities afforded by attending the conference, has helped me to grow as an AE, and to further develop the value of the NJBA for my members and the audiences we serve.

Thank you once again for your generous support of the NJBA and myself this year, Pat, and congratulations of putting on yet another stellar event! I look forward to seeing you again soon.

With my appreciation and very best regards,

Paul S. Rotella, Esq.,
President/Chief Executive Officer

The June 8 full day conference of two keynote and 4 workshop presentations was attended by over 60 association and supplier professionals.

“Harrison Coerver’s information on ‘Race for Relevance’ was truly pertinent for associations to get and stay in the business of growing associations. Enjoyed this tremendously!”

“Brian Riggs was great – he never skipped a beat in filling in for Sue Pine. Great eye-opening session on association trends.”

“The information that was shared in the meeting planning sessions will definitely be information I will share with my associates. The panelists provided many options to make my conferences a success.”

These were just a few of the many positive comments attendees provided during the conference and after. “Our thanks to all the speakers and panelists who contributed great information and expertise to this first mid-year conference,” said Heather Evans, MASAE Education Committee Chair.
