Membership Spotlight
I am the vice president, corporate and CFO at the Public Policy Forum (PPF), a non-profit charity and applied policy think tank focused on convening and research, working to identify fresh policy options and pathways forward. I joined CSAE in 2016 as part of my professional development and career growth plan, as well as to expand my network of peers. I earned my CAE designation in 2019, in record time, within 12 months of starting. I met so many wonderful instructors and peers, many of whom I am still in touch with today. I learned so much that I have been able to apply on a practical basis in my day-to-day work as an association executive. I recommend this program to aspiring executives or CEOs in the not-for-profit and association sectors.
Associations Connect is also a fantastic tool, which I use regularly. Being able to benchmark and share resources with my peers and industry leaders has been an incredible value-add. In addition to this, CSAE offers many resources to professionals which over the years I have found indispensable. I am grateful for my continued membership with CSAE and look forward to meeting many more of you over the coming years!
