April 18, 2017

The American Society of Association Executives unveiled the winners of the 2017 Gold Circle Awards competition, which denotes excellence, innovation, and achievement in association/nonprofit marketing, membership, and communications programs.

The Gold Circle Award for Overall Excellence will be announced during ASAE’s 2017 Marketing, Membership & Communications Conference (MMCC), May 2-3, in Washington, D.C. 

The 2017 competition received 172 submissions. Over 80 judges from different associations, nonprofits, and for-profit organizations evaluated the submissions this year. The awards are sponsored by High Roads Solution.  

“Our members submitted fantastic entries this year, and we had several categories with multiple winners. The quality of work our judges see always make it a difficult decision on who receives a Gold Circle award,” said Lisa Claydon, CAE, director of marketing Communications at Association of Corporate Counsel and chair of the Gold Circle Awards Committee.

She added, “In a few weeks, we are going to have a fun, interactive session at MMCC, so attendees can learn strategies and tactics that worked well and utilize them in future campaigns.”
