We’ve always known we work with the best and brightest leaders in the association industry, but every now and again an event comes along to prove it. This year, it was the Salute to Association Excellence Awards.
These awards are given out every year by Association Trends to recognize top leaders and rising stars in the association community. For the past 39 years, the Salute to Association Excellence has been one of the industry’s must-attend events in Washington, D.C., with over 500 association professionals attending every year.
At this year’s event, nearly 40 Higher Logic clients were recognized. We’re honored to work with you and see the difference you make in your industries every day.
