Reston, VA—February 1, 2012—Affinity Center International (ACI) has joined ASAE’s select group of Alliance Partners.
“ASAE has long been the backbone for the association industry. Through this dynamic partnership, ACI will continue to develop programs and products that help association executives achieve their missions, build member loyalty and ultimately increase member happiness,” said Jeanet Schroepfer, chief growth champion at ACI.
ASAE is a membership organization of more than 21,000 association executives and industry partners representing more than 10,000 organizations. An ASAE Alliance Partnership provides maximum exposure for an organization seeking to align itself with ASAE. Over the next three years, ACI will aid ASAE in valuable association executive events and educational components such as focus groups at ASAE’s signature events including the Annual Meeting & Exposition, Springtime, Great Ideas Conference, Future Leaders Conference, Technology Conference and ASAE Foundation Special Events.
ACI will especially focus its support on small staff associations such as the Small Staff Annual Meeting Networking Lounge, Scholarships for Small Staff Executives, Small Staff Reception and will be the sole supporter of the small staff newsletter.
“We are very pleased that ACI has become a corporate partner with ASAE, and we look forward to working with them over the next three years, especially with their support for our small staff newsletter and helping our members’ find ways to raise non-dues revenue and enhance their member benefits,” said ASAE President and CEO John H. Graham IV, CAE.
“Making members happy is at the core of what ACI does, because if members are happy, then associations and partners are happy,” said ACI Founder, David Carrithers. “In addition, ACI builds its programs for associations of any size, so small associations can now participate in the same type of affinity programs that only larger ones could in the past.”
Currently, Affinity Center International offers two programs, AchieveLinks and GiftBridge, which provide benefits to associations of all sizes, especially smaller associations not usually served by incentive and member benefit sponsor companies. For more information, visit www.affinitycenter.com.
