NYSAE Knows You Are Outstanding!

By Nicole Millman-Falk, CAE, and Gina Ryan, CAE

NYSAE’s Awards Committee, indeed, has the best job in the organization—to recognize achievements. It’s also the most challenging job because there are so many outstanding and deserving individuals in NYSAE. Nominations are now being accepted for all award categories:

  • Outstanding Association Executive;
  • Outstanding Associate Member;
  • Distinguished Service Award;
  • Diplomat Award;
  • New Star Award;
  • Social Responsibility Award.


Just go to the NYSAE website and enter your name or a colleague’s on the Nomination Form to get the process going. There’s also a link to the online application for the Social Responsibility Award (all award applications will shortly be online).

All awards will be presented at the Synergy Awards Luncheon, which will be held on April 23 in conjunction with the Technology Institute and Vendor Showcase. The Awards Committee (Lauren Beneri, Kellen Company; Mary Jane Eimer, Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies; and Gerard Theirs, ASAH) has been working on some fun plans for this year’s luncheon, so make plans to join us in NYSAE’s celebration of the best in our field!

Nicole Millman-Falk, CAE, President of Millman-Falk Communications, and Managing Editor of InView, is Chair of NYSAE’s Awards Committee. Gina Ryan, CAE, President, CEO Pathways/Creative Executive Options, is Vice Chair of the Awards Committee. They can be reached at mfc32@optonline.net and ceopathways@mac.com, respectively.
