Diversity Executive Leadership Program (DELP)

Today’s competitive environment requires organizations to develop leaders who bring a wide variety of professional and personal experience to the table. ASAE’s answer to that challenge is the Diversity Executive Leadership Program (DELP).

DELP supports association professionals with diverse lived experiences and a demonstrated commitment to building associations inclusive of people of color, the LGBTQIA2+ community, and those with a disability advance into the ranks of leadership in the association management profession. DELP scholars participate in an all access leadership program of education, mentoring, coaching, and networking in the association community.

Now in its 25th year, the DELP program is a proven program to provide the infrastructure to foster leadership growth and development in the association management profession. ASAE is committed to the career advancement of DELP program scholars. We seek to help associations develop motivated leaders to fuel organization success and enhance the effectiveness of the wider association community.
