McLean, VA. (PRWEB) August 01, 2013 -- WHAT: Executives from Avectra, a leading Social CRM developer of web-based member and donor-based software for associations and not-for-profits, will participate in educational sessions focusing on member engagement, association certification and the ROI of social media at the 2013 American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) Annual Meeting and Exposition held August 3-6 in Atlanta, GA.
ASAE represents more than 21,000 association executives and industry partners representing 10,000 organizations. Its members manage leading trade associations, individual membership societies and voluntary organizations across the United States and in nearly 50 countries around the world.
The ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition offers a relaxed yet business-oriented environment where association executives can step back from their daily routine and be exposed to new and creative ways of thinking. Attendees will meet with colleagues and presenters to share ideas, and rejuvenate their creativity, allowing them to develop ideas into solutions they can implement in their own organizations.
WHO: Dirk Behrends, senior director of sales, Avectra, will join a panel discussion entitled “The Business of Certification: Engage Certificants to Grow Your Program”.
