On April 20, the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) announced the selection of four distinguished association leaders to the 2026 Class of ASAE Fellows. This is an honor that recognizes exemplary leadership and enduring contributions to the association profession. This year’s class is especially significant as it marks the 40th anniversary of the ASAE Fellows program, according to the organization.

Established in 1986, the ASAE Fellows program is among the highest honors in the association sector. It celebrates individuals who have demonstrated visionary leadership, a deep commitment to conscious inclusion and a sustained impact on their organizations and the broader community of association professionals.

"What struck the committee most about this year's class is how each of these individuals has gone beyond professional excellence to genuinely shape how others lead and how our profession evolves," said David Gammel, FASAE, CAE, executive director of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, and chair of the 2026 ASAE Fellows Selection Committee.
