He added, “I encourage my friends, peers, former coworkers, fellow association members from organizations including ASAE, AMPs, DMAI, HSMAI, MPI, NCBMP, PCMA and all event professionals to join me in supporting this valuable cause.”
Peeler, along with Brad Weaber, who is the chief innovation officer with Connections Housing, are the first two founding supporters of AWE.
AWE welcomes both men and women to join the movement.

The membership rates of $195/year are offered at a special introductory rate of $175/year through March 31.
Inaugural members will receive special recognition as a thank you from AWE Founders. As believers of sponsorship and mentorship, AWE also will offer a $40/year student rate.
AWE membership will be open to both men and women in the events, meetings, hospitality and travel industries. “We couldn't be more thrilled to truly embrace our mission and open membership to the industry,” said Carrie Abernathy, CMP, CEM, CSEP, AWE co- founder and president.
She added, “2016 will be the catalyst for the movement."
