As Chair of the ASAE Research Foundation Development Committee, I ask you to please consider donating to the Foundation this Giving Tuesday, November 28. Serving on the ASAE Research Foundation Development Committee for the past few years and now as Chair has given me a much greater appreciation of the work the Foundation does to support all association members.
As Chief Executive Officer of the School Nutrition Association, the research that the Foundation does every year is invaluable to the operational and strategic planning that my Board of Directors, staff team and I do every year. The funds from #GivingTuesday will help support such important 2024 research initiatives such as:
- Releasing five new/updated drivers of change to ASAE's ForesightWorks
- A revitalization of a Foundation classic, Seven Measures of Success
- An upcoming study on accessibility with a focus on neurodiversity
As leaders in the association community, I ask that you support the Foundation so it can continue its work on behalf of associations. Here is the link to the Foundation's Giving Tuesday web page and pleases donate at a level that you are comfortable with.
