A Community of Black Association Professionals
The Black Association Executives (BAE) is a vibrant community of Black professionals engaged in the association sector.
Our journey began at the 2022 American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) annual meeting in Nashville, TN, where a group of Black leaders convened an affinity pop-up. Inspired by the energy and enthusiasm generated at this gathering, these leaders decided to extend their efforts beyond the confines of the meeting. In the months that followed, they initiated regular online meetings and reactivated an online discussion board. This momentum led to the establishment of monthly dinners, a LinkedIn group, coffee chats, and more, fostering a dynamic and interactive community.
Our vision is to create a platform where you can discover mentors, rising stars, speakers, and innovative thought leaders. We aim to enrich your professional journey with inspiring stories and meaningful relationships that will have a lasting impact on your career.
Whether you’re based in Washington D.C., Chicago, Orlando, or Los Angeles, we look forward to welcoming you into our community and working together to realize this vision.
