American Society of Association Executives and Banff Centre for Management and Executive Programs Offer Scholarship Award.

For the second year, ASAE will recognize association executives who have demonstrated outstanding accomplishments and commitment to the profession of association management with the Banff Centre-ASAE Award for Excellence in Association Leadership. The recipient will receive full tuition for one of three 10-day professional development programs as well as round-trip air travel courtesy of Air Canada, ground transportation, accommodations, and meals--a package worth more than $10,000.

Designed exclusively for and restricted to executive-level participants, the Banff Centre for Management and Executive Programs has earned an international reputation for excellence. The recipient may choose from three outstanding programs: Management Excellence, Guiding People and Organizational Change, and Creating and Implementing Innovation and Knowledge Management Strategies. Applicants will be judged on the basis of their demonstrated success in the four core competencies identified by ASAE's Executive Management Section: self assessment/self actualization; innovation/change leadership; organizational design; and relationship maintenance.

Eligibility is restricted to association executives who meet the following requirements: ASAE members for at least three years; currently employed as a full-time CEO in an association or other nonprofit organization for at least three years; not a previous recipient of the award or the Banff Centre-CSAE Executive Leadership Award. Preference is given to those who have attained the CAE designation.

For more information and an application packet, contact Lee Moore at 202-626-2706 or e-mail [e-mail]. All applications must be received by June 1, 2001. The recipient will be announced at ASAE Philadelphia 2001.
