Testimonials:
"The opportunities and challenges that an Australian not-for-profit manager will face during their career have invariably been successfully addressed in the past by similar organisations in the United States. In this context, the Associations Forum Study Tour is a unique opportunity to access and learn from our colleagues across the Pacific." Troy Williams, CEO, Australian Dental Industry Association
"After many years in the industry it's still amazing how much you learn from others when you venture outside of your industry boundaries. Definitely worthwhile." Tracey Gramlick, Executive Director, Australian Window Association
"It should be the aim of every association executive to get to the ASAE Annual Meeting at least once to experience the wider world of association management. Combining it with participation in the Associations Forum Study Tour rounds off a great learning and networking experience." Chris Champion, CEO, Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia
