Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau Joins ASAE & The Center as New Corporate Partner
May 26, 2010

WASHINGTON—The Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau has recently joined ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership’s group of Alliance Partners as a new Corporate Partner within the Alliance Partnership Program. The program was developed to provide the industry partner community with opportunities to align itself with ASAE & The Center through customized marketing platforms.

“Partnership is a word that, regretfully in today’s parlance, has come to mean sponsorship, making true partnerships that much more important," said Scott Beck, president and CEO of the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau. "It is for this reason the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau is so excited about our new partnership with ASAE & The Center. To be able to join a team that is pushing our industry forward with education, leadership in sustainability and the development of new leaders for our industry is an opportunity that creates a true partnership for our two organizations.”

The Corporate Partnership provides significant exposure for a company seeking to align itself with ASAE & The Center. This partnership level contains bundled marketing opportunities in combination with high level and creative visibility to industry partners to help build and maintain a relationship with ASAE & The Center members and the association community.

“Salt Lake City has so much to offer as a world class destination,” said ASAE & The Center President and CEO John H. Graham IV, CAE. “ASAE & The Center has already made a commitment to host our Annual Meeting & Exposition in Salt Lake City and we hope our new partnership with the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau will attract more association meetings and events.”
 
Salt Lake City has recently been selected to host ASAE & The Center’s Annual Meeting & Exposition in 2016.
