Audience

The membership is diverse and includes Executive Directors/CEOs, CFOs, Meeting Planners, Membership and Marketing Staff, and other professionals who work for regional, state, national and international associations. Industry suppliers play a significant role in PASAE events by attending events and offering their support through sponsorship, exhibits and committee involvement. Industry supplier members include hotels, CVBs, event companies, printers, accountants, lawyers, and other association business partners.

Members attend PASAE events looking for information on best practices, new skills or knowledge, innovative programs and tools, and opportunities to interact and build relationships.
