The Gold Circle Award (GCA) Committee advises and assists ASAE with administering the Gold Circle Awards program that recognizes excellence in associations marketing, membership and communications programs. The GCA Committee works to maintain year-round recognition of the GCA program by connecting great ideas and great people to inspire leadership and achievement within the association community. Volunteers will be expected to accomplish this work through their contributions in meetings and smaller work groups.
This group requires three in-person meetings; the first in-person meeting will be the kickoff meeting on Friday, September 29, 2017 at 10:00 am Eastern Time at ASAE Headquarters, 1575 I Street NW, Washington, DC. This meeting is mandatory for new volunteers. The second and third in-person meetings will also be held at ASAE Headquarters, in April 2018 and June 2018. Additionally, there are a series of teleconferences held throughout the year for the full committee and its subcommittees.
The objectives of the 2017-2018 Gold Circle Awards Committee, are to:
- Promote the GCA program throughout the year.
- Review of GCA program categories and criteria.
- Lead judging process and select the Gold Circle Award for Overall Excellence.
- Develop content to share best practices.
- Communicate and collaborate with section councils on additional tasks needed to support the GCA Committee.

- Committee members (or their organizations)pay their own travel expenses to attend meetings. ASAE does not reimburse Board, Committee, or Council members for travel.
- Members can only serve on 1 (one) volunteer group (council, committee, ad-hoc) at a time.
