Yes& Produces 2019 Annual Meeting for ASAE Columbus

Robert Sprague

Six thousand association professionals, CEOs, and industry partners gathered in Columbus, Ohio in August for ASAE’s 2019 Annual Meeting and Exposition. Once again, as it has every year since 2005, Yes& produced a highly successful series of general sessions.

.ASAE’s theme was “Learn and Play with Purpose,” so Yes& turned to true subject matter experts to anchor its creative: the children of association executives, with a few Yes& offspring adding to the fun.

Yes& also contributed a video announcing the commencement of a year-long celebration of ASAE’s 100th anniversary. That year will culminate at the 2020’s Annual Meeting and Exposition in Las Vegas, and Yes& is already working with ASAE to plan general sessions to mark that milestone. ASAE 2019 pic 3

“Still hearing great things about every aspect and am so grateful for the job you and the team did for ASAE,” commented Susan Robertson, Interim President & CEO. Thank YOU, Susan: we are extremely grateful for our long partnership with ASAE.

Forrest Mars Sr. came up with the idea for M&M’s after observing soldiers eating chocolate during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. As you know, heat liquefies chocolate like butter in a frying pan, making your fingers sticky. So, the concept of wrapping chocolate in a hard candy shell was born. With it, came an immortal tagline: Melts in your mouth, not in your hands. M&M’s are practical. They’re colorful. The characters are fun. Did we need them to be anything more?

There should be a direct and overt connection between an organization’s “giving back” initiatives and its core values. If there is no such connection? Maybe the values aren’t really values—or maybe the giving back is a thinly-disguised PR play. If there is a connection? Giving back is a powerful way to build engagement with hard-to-recruit and hard-to-retain employees.
