Associations

Associations make America stronger. In virtually every industry and sector, associations advance workers’ job skills and create new employment opportunities while being committed stewards of the environment. They also implement programs and impact policies that strengthen America’s safety and security – on roadways, waterways, work places, the Internet and everywhere in-between.

Members of the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) are at the forefront of service innovation and facilitate domestic and international commerce. There is no other segment of society that improves lives like associations do – from creating industry standards of quality and safety, to providing disaster relief, to offering expertise that creates better policy – and so much more. https://www.asaecenter.org/

Helping Communities Work strategies align with the community development objectives of ASAE's, "the Power of A". We provide guidance for sustainable development, banking and investing associations interested in offering work-based learning programs or becoming Eligible Training Providers through the Employment and Training Administration of the US Department of Labor. Each program can be designed to support the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the growing sustainable banking and investing community. http://www.thepowerofa.org
