ASAE’s National Capital Area Advisory Council (NCAC)* undertakes strategic discussions to provide guidance and advice to ASAE staff on items relevant to the national capital region. As such, the Council will undertake several guided strategic conversations and review ASAE offerings to associations in the national capital region. The Council will not actively implement programs, products, and services in the national capital region, however when such support is needed, the Council may provide advice to ASAE to define, recruit, and recognize other volunteers to fill such roles.
*NCAC members must be based in the DC Metro area
Current Identified FY19 Strategic Discussions-
In conjunction with ASAE staff presented discussion items, NCAC has been tasked with discussing and providing intelligence to ASAE around the following council selected Drivers of Change (short summary provided):
1. Diversity and Inclusion
American society and workplaces will continue to
grow more diverse and inclusive as values evolve
and younger generations increase their share in
the demographic mix. This will occur against a
backdrop of social, political, and racial
polarization—and the workplace will be a
primary arena in which contending views collide
and issues are worked out. To meet these
challenges, inclusion efforts will be supported by
a new generation of tools and processes.
2. New Forms of Work
Freelance, gig, contract, and temporary work and
the infrastructure to support them (e.g., online
platforms and reputation systems) are growing.
The number of independent professionals is
expanding, and networked organizations rely on
them. Associations will have new opportunities to
serve these workers and advocate for their
interests.
When submitting your application, please address the following in the box provided:
- Describe one issue or activity related to a Driver listed above that is critical to associations in the national capital region and explain why the issue/activity is important.
- Describe how your perspective and experience will help us achieve our council charge.
