OSAE Executive News Summer 2021

CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS:
USE OSAE’S MOBILE APP
FROM RESULTS AT HAND
USE THE APP TO GET THE MOST OUT OF
THE 2021 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
For several years, OSAE has worked
closely with Results at Hand to build
and utilize a mobile app that not
only links members to our everyday
offerings but provides them with an
integrated, content-rich app for the
OSAE Annual Conference. This year
will be no different. Kim Harwood and
her team at Results at Hand have been
hard at work updating the mobile app
for this year’s conference in Athens.
This relationship affords members access to open,
flexible technology that is on-demand and responsive.
In order to utilize the app, members will need a mobile phone
plan that includes a data plan; but, first, they must download
the app to their smartphones or tablets. Then they will be able to
save personal data, such as notes and profile updates; fetch the
most recent updates and speaker notes; respond to evaluations;
register for events and much more. You can search for the OSAE
Mobile App in both the Android and Apple Stores by using the
name “OSAE” in the search option.
If you have questions about the OSAE app once you’ve
downloaded it, use the “support” feature located on the main
menu of the app to send a help request.

ASAE NAMES MICHELLE
MASON NEW PRESIDENT & CEO
Michelle Mason was recently named new president and CEO of
the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE). Mason,
who assumes her position on Sept. 1, succeeds Susan Robertson,
CAE. This marks Mason’s second tenure at ASAE, where she
was vice president of strategic and future-focused research
from 1998-2006.
“Throughout her career, Michelle has demonstrated
a commitment to the
association community and
I AM HONORED
ASAE, and a proven ability
TO BUILD UPON
to drive alignment and results in a complex, multi-stakeholder
THE SUCCESSFUL
environment,” said Stephen Caldeira, ASAE board chair and cochair
of the search committee.
AT ASAE.
FOUNDATION
For the better part of the past seven years, Mason has been CEO
and president of Association Forum headquartered in Chicago. Prior to that,
she served as managing director of strategy and innovation for the American Society
for Quality.
In 2020, Robertson became the first woman to hold ASAE’s top position after the death of
longtime president and CEO John Graham. Previously the executive vice president of ASAE and
president of the ASAE Research Foundation, Robertson served an 18-month contract as president
and CEO — a tenure marked by her steadfast stewardship during a time of transition.
Mason becomes the first Black woman to serve as head of ASAE, which is comprised of 48,000
association executives and industry partners representing 7,400 organizations.
“I am honored to build upon the successful foundation at ASAE,” Mason said. “I look forward
to collaborating with a dynamic board of directors and a dedicated staff team as we create an
accessible, inclusive and transformational community for members and industry. A heartfelt thank
you to Susan Robertson for her leadership and paving the way for women in the industry.”
