AE INSTITUTE – BALTIMORE, MD
I learned several things on my trip to Baltimore – things that will help me in the future, as I make my way learning the ins and outs of being an Association Executive. The NRDS and Ecommerce classes were very useful in helping me learn how to enter things properly and mastering the shortcuts. The classes in Investment Strategies for Associations were interesting and they had several options for small associations, although our investments do fairly well. They had several Keynote Speakers that were both entertaining and informative. My favorite was Connie Podesta, who did a personality shapes assessment presentation that was hilarious. There were several classes that I participated in, such as hosting an Association function, using social media, soliciting RPAC contributions, mandatory core standards, and increasing member engagement. These will help me in just about every aspect of my job. I met a lot of very nice people from across the United States and met a few that will be lifelong friends. The Inner Harbor in Baltimore was great. Lots of things to do and lots of yummy crab-cake restaurants. We rode the water taxi in Chesapeake Bay to get to certain locations and that was fun, but a little cold. Also went to the Aquarium in the Harbor and went to Gettysburg. Even though I did receive a Scholarship to help with this trip, all in all, I believe that the AE Institute is a good investment for the Association.
