Things to Know
Our Audience Is Virginia's Association Executives
VSAE's primary members are the association executives and staff from Virginia's membership-based associations and non-profits. The membership is diverse and includes association CEOs, senior staff, and early career association professionals. These members attend VSAE events looking for information on best practices and ways to deliver more value to their careers, their associations, and their members.
VSAE's Professional Development Committee Chooses Content Leaders
VSAE has a volunteer-led Professional Development Committee that meets at least twice annually to select content leaders for events. The group will review content submissions and extend invitations to potential speakers and content leaders. Session topics specific to association and event management receive priority over general topics of interest.
We Can Only Provide Travel Expense Reimbursement
VSAE has a very limited budget for speakers and content leaders. We can only provide reimbursement for travel expenses and do not provide an honorarium. Speaking at a VSAE event is a marketing opportunity. Many of VSAE's members look to current and former VSAE content leaders when they need to hire a speaker for an event. So, speaking at VSAE is great exposure to VSAE's association community.
