Twenty six associations have been honored with the 2006 Communication Gold Circle Award, ASAE & The Center’s award recognizing innovative ideas and achievement in association communications campaigns. 

 

Selected from more than 250 entries submitted from over 160 organizations, recipients were acknowledged for excellence in communication in the categories of print publishing, electronic publishing, writing and media relations.

 

This year marks the return of the Gold Circle Awards since the 2004 merger of ASAE, GWSAE, the ASAE Foundation and The Center for Association Leadership.

 

A list of winners and their respective categories is below. 

 

“At the suggestion of the Communication Section Council, we’re glad to bring back the Gold Circle Awards and applaud these organizations for striving to successfully communicate their messages and representing the association community in such fine fashion,” said John H. Graham, IV, CAE, president and CEO of ASAE. 

 

“In today’s ever demanding, hectic and high-tech world, it’s easy to overlook how we communicate with others. This becomes even more challenging for associations, whose employees often wear many hats at once. These organizations are to be commended for understanding the important role of communication and successfully embracing that challenge,” said Barbara Hyde, CAE, director of communications of the American Society for Microbiology and 2005-2006 chair of the Gold Circle Awards Committee. 

 

Recipients will be acknowledged at a reception of the joint Communications, Marketing and Membership Section held during the 2006 Annual Meeting & Exposition on Saturday, August 19, 5:30-6:30pm at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, followed by an “open house,” displaying samples of winning programs, on Sunday, August 20 from 10:15-11:15am.
