With the approval of the PCAAE Board of Trustees in its meeting last May 28, 2015, the PCAAE management is now launching the Awards and the Certification programs.

The PCAAE Awards called, the ‘ANG SUSI’ (acronym for Associations nurture National Growth through Social Unity and Sustainability Innovations), symbolizes the key role that the association sector and its professional staff contribute to nation-building. There are two Awards – the institutional awards and the individual award.

The institutional awards will be given to membership organizations in six categories for their outstanding achievements in helping the environment, empowering people, serving communities, enhancing trade and industry, developing technology solutions, and for being agents of change. An individual award, the “Association Executive of the Year” , is given to an outstanding career professional who has sustainably managed an association through the years with remarkable results.

The awards will be presented during the Association Executives Summit (AES) III to be held at the Philippine International Convention Center on December 3-4, 2015. The AES is the biggest annual gathering of association managers and professionals to connect with colleagues while obtaining practical tips and tools to help their organizations succeed. Supporting the event are the Tourism Promotions Board Philippines (TPB), the PICC, and the Association of Development Financing Institutions in Asia and the Pacific (ADFIAP), the umbrella organization of development financing institutions in the region.
