The 2019 FSAE Annual Conference service project with Rethreaded is featured in Naylor's Association Adviser:
The Florida Society of Association Executives (FSAE) began incorporating a social responsibility component into its annual conference back in 2010. That year, conference attendees helped sort and box food for a food bank. Over the years, attendees have donated to multiple Florida-based food banks, Friends of the Palm Beach County Library System, All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, and Sneakers for September, a nonprofit that provides new sneakers for children in Orange and Osceola counties. In 2016, FSAE’s giving was personal: Conference attendees were asked to donate to the UF (University of Florida) Health Cancer Center in memory of FSAE members who had recently lost battles with cancer.

FSAE is seeking locations for our 2019 events - including our Central and South Florida Power Luncheons, Roundtables, CEO Retreat and Think Tank. This is a great opportunity to bring association executives to your property/location to experience it first hand, especially if you've undergone a recent renovation, are a new property or have something new to show off. Please download our 2019 RFP (Word Doc) to see if we're a good fit to assist you in your goals for booking association business.
We are working with Site Search, Inc. to find locations for our events, which are only possible with the support of our generous Associate Members, like you. As a hosting event sponsor, FSAE features your property/location in all event-related marketing and communications promotions and event attendees gain firsthand exposure to your property/location - which can result in additional business opportunities for you!
FSAE wants to ensure association executives are prepared to bring organizations into the next era through education that stimulates interactive discussions and audience engagement. We want attendees at all FSAE 2019 events to return to their associations with a fresh perspective, the ability to implement cultural change and the strategic capacity to deliver and act on new knowledge, no matter their level of association management experience.

Participate in the Association Gift Basket Challenge and be entered to WIN an Amazon Echo Dot!The FSAE Foundation will be holding our annual Silent Auction this year in conjunction with the FSAE Annual Conference, July 11-13, 2018. The Auction Committee thought it would be fun to involve Association members in a new creative way: the Association Gift Basket Challenge!
We are asking each association to donate a fun basket that is themed around your Association and industry! What better way to learn more about what we all do, than to see and bid on industry themed gift baskets! If your association has a "difficult-to-theme-for-a-basket" industry, you can always choose an alternative theme - Kids, Pets, Movie Night, Wine and Cheese, Super Heroes, Legos! Be creative - remember this is a challenge and there are fun rewards.
Each basket will be entered into a drawing for an Amazon Echo Dot.
Are your wheels turning? Here are some samples of baskets we have already received:
The January Power Luncheon kicked off 2018 on a positive note with over 140 attendees!
Thank you to our CAE/CEO session and luncheon speaker Sheri Jacobs and to our sponsor Hyatt Hotels in Florida!
