A history of giving back at annual conference
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 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.
