MASAE 2nd Annual Conference & Exhibition

The 2nd Annual MASAE Conference & Exhibition helped attendees to:

GROW Their Networks

Increase Their KNOWLEDGE

ENHANCE Their Careers!

This year’s conference was held on November 30 and December 1, 2011 at Caesars Atlantic City. The conference was all about making the connections needed to refocus energy on finding the tools, techniques, sources and solutions to meet your association’s changing environment. Attendees met with other association and non-profit professionals for a two-day education and networking summit. Attendees linked into the collective brainpower of all those engaged in managing associations. Attendees channeled their energies in the right direction to gather information, access new resources, compile more data, and congregate with peers.

Conference highlights included outstanding educational seminars, a fun-filled speed-networking with sponsors event, a reception at One Atlantic with a gorgeous seaside view, and two fantastic keynotes from thought leaders in the association management industry.

Attendees are saying that this year’s conference was a great success and they are already looking forward to next year! Stay tuned….

MASAE Annual Conference & Exposition: Feedback

Dena — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:36:05 +0000

“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
