Membership

The Association of Association Executives, with its ethos of 'Share, Learn & Grow' is built around a freely accessible, contribution-based membership community, allowing everyone to learn and grow their expertise and knowledge. The members contribute content, take surveys, share updates on their projects and provide input into the AAE.  Membership is open to all association, society and federation executives (senior staff and employees, as well as volunteer executives and board members) for no fee, with the option of paid plans. See details below.

In addition to Membership, you can subscribe to one of the two expert modules to further develop your skills and knowledge, receive support and to deepen your network.

  • Transformation Plan offers services and benefits that help you develop and enhance your organisation's membership, services, events and products.
  • Leadership Plan supports you in leading your organisation more effectively with access to critical information, exclusive leadership benefits and knowledge. 

For associations, an Organization Membership option is available, tailored to your staff levels and offering each of your employees / executives the full benefits of individual Membership and the Transformation Plan together with recognition for the organization itself.
