ASAE Realigns Under Graham
ASAE and The Center for Association Leadership has
restructured, naming John Graham as president and chief executive
officer of both ASAE and The Center and realigning the staff under him.
Previously, Graham was president and CEO of ASAE while Susan Sarfati was
president and CEO of The Center. Sarfati left the organization in
September to take a job with the American
Program Bureau. The boards of both ASAE and The Center voted to name
Graham to lead both organizations. The decision created the opportunity
for Graham to reexamine the way ASAE and The Center is organized.
Read more about the realignment,
including the promotion of a new executive vice president.

The Meeting That Changed the Printing
Industry
By Dave Kovaleski
A trio of associations in the printing industry is
embarking on an effort to not only green their joint conference, but
their entire industry, through a program that recognizes environmentally
sustainable printers. In time, just about every piece of printed
material—from books, to cereal boxes, to convention tote bags—will
contain their seal. It’s an effort that will likely change the
printing industry.
The ambitious initiative came about last summer, July 2007, while three
association executives met to plan the National Environmental Health and
Safety Conference. The 14-year-old conference is jointly sponsored by
three printing associations—Flexographic Technical Association,
Printing Industries of America, and the Specialty Graphic Imaging
Association. While each has its own annual convention to serve their
respective niches, this particular conference is on environmental issues
that cut across the niches, so the associations decided to produce it
together.
Read how the associations
plan to green the printing industry.

Hartford Honors Locals for Bringing Meetings
Home
The Greater Hartford (Conn.) Convention and Visitors
Bureau’s “Bring It Home” program is paying off as local residents
and organizations have helped the city win five association meetings
over the next two years.
On September 28, the bureau honored local association leaders, who
reached out to their respective organizations to pitch the city as a
future meeting destination. Among those honored were Vicki Shotland for
the Northeast Passenger Transportation Association (coming in 2009);
Rev. Henry Mansell, Archbishop of Hartford, for the National Council of
Catholic Women (coming in 2010); Kevin Jones and Ebert Landman Jr. for
the Association of Anglican Musicians (coming in 2010); and June Wiehn
for the North American Council on Adoptable Children (coming in 2010).

Financial Meltdown: What Does It Mean for
Meetings?
By Sue Pelletier
If you're like me, you're spending a lot of time
learning about things like credit default swaps and other financial WMDs
in hopes of understanding what's going on in the U.S. financial
industry, and what the government is proposing to do about it. Which is
difficult enough to get my arms around.
Then I sit in on this
conversation (free registration req'd) at Meetings Collaborative
about what it all could possibly mean for the meetings business, and my
mind boggles at the potential reverberations throughout this industry,
from hotel expansions to corporate business travel to, yes, even
association meetings.
Click here
for more, and to share your views on the current credit crunch’s
impact on our business (or drop me an spelletier@meetingsnet.com
e-mail if you’d prefer). I’d love to hear your thoughts—and your
ideas on how associations can protect themselves should times get
tougher.
