We want to hear from you.
WSAE is looking for association executives and staff team members that have been involved in developing new non-dues revenue sources for their association.

Travel Industry Asks for Federal Aid
More than 600 travel industry organizations, including ASAE, signed on to a letter urging lawmakers to take action on near-term federal policies to restore and grow the U.S. travel industry. The letter, organized by the U.S. Travel Association, points out that the COVID-19 pandemic has cost the travel industry over $730 billion in lost spending since March 2020. Read more.

Read through ASAE Association Insurance Survey results
More than 200 respondents completed the survey, which is strong. One data point that stands out: 550 events were cancelled in 2021, which resulted in a current estimated loss in revenue of nearly $165 million. This is only among a tiny segment of the association community and says nothing of the services lost to members and missed out local economic activity – due in large part to event cancellations. Put all those things together and we’re talking about big-time, macro-economic forces. These data help demonstrate why we need a system in place to ensure our community can provide for employees, members and stakeholders in the future, which is why ASAE is advocating for a pandemic risk insurance program. Read more.
Note: Pay it Forward by supporting your peers who have experienced hardships due to pandemic-related factors. Donate to WSAE's Move Mountains campaign cover the cost of association dues and other resources for those industry partners and association execs who need a little extra help this year. Together, we can Move Mountains - We certainly are #StrongerbyAssociation!
