The MASAE Annual Meeting occurred on November 28-29, 2012 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. For those of you that have
not attended – You need to!! This was another great event full of excellent educational events and plenty of networking. I have been attending this meeting regularly for the last 10 years when it was the NJSAE Annual Meeting and I have always been impressed with the speakers and the attendees. I always leave the meeting with a few takeaways I can implement. The formal educational sessions are great and worth attending but an equally important part for me is the networking and less formal interaction. I pick up tips and tricks from my colleagues as we are talking at the social events, in the hallways or in the exhibit hall. It is a great group of people and that is what separates this meeting form the many others out there. For more information on MASAE and the events we offer please visit http://www.midatlantic-sae.org/.
I have always felt that continuing education is very important to the growth of the professional and the association management profession. If we want to continue to add value for our clients and the associations we serve each of us must keep developing as a professional. Bower Management Services was pleased to sponsor the MASAE Annual Meeting Scholarship for 2012 and will be sponsoring it again for 2013. The scholarship winner receives complimentary registration for the event and one night at the meeting hotel. People interested in the scholarship self submit and need to meet certain qualifications. After the closing date of the submissions a Scholarship Committee reviews the submissions and selects the winner. This year’s winner was TC Field-Bobroski. TC is Executive Director for the International Pediatric Association managed by Association Headquarters.

The meeting this year fell very close to all the devastation that Hurricane Sandy created so we added an additional element so the meeting attendees had the opportunity to give back to the people most directly impacted by the hurricane. The attendees were asked to bring canned and non-perishable food to the meeting with them and everyone did great and contributed many necessary items. We filled a complete industrial laundry bin!!!!
