"There are few honors more rewarding than those given by one's peers.  The Executive of the Year award sits proudly in my office and reminds me daily to strivefor excellence in all that I do." -John Ricco, CAE, Partners in Association Management, 2011 Executive of the Year

"I can't believe it has almost been a year since our FSAE conference in Miami, and it still amazes me that I received the Rising Star Award. I have it on my desk and it reminds me of the great team we had and how hard we all worked to put on such a great conference. It also represents to me what a great organization FSAE truly is and what an honor it truly was! I'm really looking forward to finding out who becomes this year's Rising Star!" -Lisa Murphy, Miami CVB, 2011 Rising Star  

"I've been a member of FSAE since 1992 and would see the Associate Member of the Year handed out and think to myself, "There's no way I would ever get an award like that."  I still pinch myself when I look at the list of previous winners and see my name added.  To be included in such a prestigious group has been amazing for my profile within the meetings industry.  I even include the award in my email signature!" - Richard Miseyko CMP, CMM, Site Search, Inc., 2011 Associate of the Year

About the Awards:

The Executive Member of the Year Award and the Associate Member of the Year Award were created to honor the individuals who have displayed the highest commitment to professional growth and pride in their field.  Their professionalism and leadership are evident in both services to the association management profession and to the community.

Rising Star Award was created to honor an FSAE association executive or FSAE association staff member who has contributed significant time and talent to FSAE’s success within their current job.

Nominees for any award must be an FSAE member in good standing and employed full time. Nominees cannot win more than once in each category. The nominee shall also have actively volunteered in other charitable, civic or community initiatives. The Awards Committee selects the winner using an objective points-based system based on nominee’s activity in the past three years. You can nominate up to one for each category. A letter of recommendation is appreciated but not required. No self nominations please.
