WASHINGTON, D.C.
ASAE has opened the call for association professionals to apply for the 2016–2018 class of the Diversity Executive Leadership Program (DELP). Deadline for submissions is Mon., March 14, 2016. The Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau is the exclusive sponsor of DELP since 2001.
DELP is an accelerated leadership program of education, mentoring, and volunteer service in the association community. Candidates who have at least three years of mid-senior level association management experience or at least one year of experience as an association CEO (as of the date of their application) and are members of a racial/ethnic minority group, lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender, or have a disability are encouraged to apply.
“DELP imparts leadership skills and knowledge in the field of association management to diverse, successful professionals in our industry,” said ASAE President & CEO John H. Graham IV, FASAE, CAE. “With the generous support from Larry Alexander of the Detroit Metro CVB, we have worked together to cultivate executive-level talent with impressive results.”
During this two-year program, 12 DELP scholars will experience membership and volunteer service in ASAE. They will also have access to industry leaders who could serve as career coaches or mentors.
