Enhancing the Environment of Business
Government Affairs . . . enhancing the business of associations
The Government Affairs Committee monitors legislation that affects association and society operations. Members of the committee work to enhance the awareness of legislators to the purposes and concerns of associations. ISAE is also a source for education to foster professionalism and competence in government affairs and lobbyist activities. Additionally, ISAE’s comprehensive directory of the state’s lobbyists is a recognized valuable tool to not only members, but also government officials.
Indiana First . . . expanding the association network
The Indiana First committee is advancing our state as a leader in the association management industry. By stimulating greater recognition of and support for the association community in Indiana and fostering inter-organizational public and private sector cooperation, we are attracting new associations to relocate to Indiana. Furthermore, we are nurturing alliances to enhance the satisfaction and environment for associations already located in Indiana.
Affiliation with ASAE
ISAE's affiliation with the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) provides members a broad base of resources. Access to information exchanged via allied society programs, a means of evaluating national trends and forecasts, and a linkage to national information banks are just three ways this affiliation benefits members. Additionally, ISAE is able to monitor national legislation impacting association and society operations through our affiliation with ASAE.
