American College of Lifestyle Medicine earns 2024 Gold Circle Award for new member experience initiative
The American Society of Association Executives recognized ACLM with the award for excellence, innovation and achievement in association/nonprofit marketing, membership and communications programs.
ST. LOUIS, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) has been recognized with a 2024 Gold Circle Award for its 12-month member experience initiative that introduced new members to the medical professional association and growing field of lifestyle medicine through a series of innovative learning and engagement opportunities.
The American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) Gold Circle competition is the premier association marketing, membership and communications award that recognizes excellence, innovation, and achievement in association/nonprofit marketing, membership, and communications programs. ACLM's award was received in the Member/Volunteer Engagement category.
ACLM's 12-month member experience was created as a result of feedback from new members that the amount of information presented upon joining the association could be overwhelming. As part of the new member experience, a microsite with curated content was developed to help new members navigate the information in easily digestible segments. Monthly themes were conveyed through videos and other communications that guided members to relevant content, created a welcoming atmosphere and sparked engagement with the ACLM community. ACLM represents 11,000 members and is the nation's only medical professional association representing the interdisciplinary field of lifestyle medicine.
"Our members are the heartbeat of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine," ACLM Senior Director of Membership Jennifer Nanni, MBA, MEd, said. "As an association, we understand the immense value of providing an exceptional, meaningful membership experience that has the opportunity to transform their personal and professional well-being, as well as the health care industry. The Gold Circle award highlights that ACLM prioritizes our relationship with our members and reaffirms our relentless pursuit of excellence in equipping them with the knowledge, tools, and network they need on the journey toward health restoration for themselves and the patients they serve."
This year's competition involved more than 150 applications across 16 categories, including convention and meeting campaign, member retention campaign, print magazine and video. Entries were judged consistently in each category based on criteria established by the ASAE Gold Circle Award Committee.
"Congratulations to the outstanding recipients of the 2024 ASAE Gold Circle Awards," said Chair of the ASAE Gold Circle Awards Committee Maria Buscemi, MPA, CAE. "These awards are a testament to the exceptional skills, ingenuity, and vision of marketing, membership, and communications professionals who have demonstrated creativity, innovation, and effectiveness in their campaigns. Their work not only showcases the best practices in our industry but also drives meaningful results for their organizations and members."
