Our Story
In the summer of 2004, executives from societies of association executives (SAEs) made a decision. After years of loose collaboration, they wanted a place of their own, to compare notes, borrow good ideas, and work through the hard parts of running an association together. So they voted to form the Association Societies Alliance.
What started as a handful of peers has grown into a network of more than 30 societies spanning 40+ states and beyond, representing over 4,000 associations and the more than 14,000 professionals who keep them running. Now, as the Association Leadership Coalition, we're carrying that same founding spirit into what comes next.
