STC Staffer Barbra Sanders Selected for ASAE’s Executive Leadership Program

STC Member Services Manager Barbra Sanders is one of 12 scholars recently selected by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) for its 2012 Diversity Executive Leadership Program (DELP). The two-year program offers individuals from underrepresented segments of the association profession an opportunity to advance into the ranks of leadership in association management by providing networking opportunities, educational programs, and career guidance.

DELP scholars receive membership in ASAE for the two-year period; registration, travel and lodging to two ASAE Annual Meetings; any two ASAE education programs as selected by each scholar; a Volunteer Leadership Retreat; orientation at ASAE headquarters in Washington, DC; and a DELP reunion in Detroit. DELP scholars also receive access to a Certified Association Executive (CAE) study group to prepare for the CAE credentialing exam, waiver of CAE examination fee, and study materials. DELP scholars will gain a connection to an industry leader to serve as a mentor, group coaching to enhance the connection of the DELP cohort, service experience with an ASAE volunteer group or other association-related volunteer group, and opportunities to meet with ASAE senior staff and volunteer leadership.

“Barbra has shown consistent leadership in identifying areas for improvement and ensuring that these get addressed systematically,” said Kathryn Burton. “She is a continual life-long learner, looking for ways to add value to the association, serve members with professionalism and grace, and develop a healthy, cooperative, and respectful workplace environment. Working with Barbra has been one of my greatest pleasures in my entire career. She is a star and deserves to go far in this profession.”
