Six associations were honored with the 2012 Power of A Summit Awards, representing the very best characteristics and leadership in the association community.
The Power of A Awards

In 2012, the Associations Advance America Awards and the Associations Make a Better World Awards became The Power of A Awards, the premier program honoring associations that exemplify how the association industry and professionals are essential to a stronger America and World.
Entering your program for a Power of A Award is easy. And at the 2013 Summit Awards Dinner we will celebrate the most extraordinary contributions associations make to society.
