I'm responsible for the strategy and operational management of the Association of Association Executives, with all members of the team reporting to me. With the advice of members, Advisory Panel members, and the team, I decide what new products and services to offer, and how they should be fulfilled.

I have headed up the AAE since its beginnings in 2006. I would love to hear about what you feel we ought to be doing to support you as association executives, and how we can improve our current offering.
