Through the Noise #74

John H. Graham IV, CAE // President and CEO // American Society of Association Executives

 

John Graham of ASAEIn the 40 years that John Graham has worked in the nonprofit sector, the ways that associations have engaged the public, policy makers, and their members have evolved dramatically. With the advent of mobile technology, fundraising and engagement has become easier, faster, and more targeted – but will any technological advancement be more effective than face-to-face interactions? Mr. Graham joins us to explore this question and four essential elements that nonprofits of all stripes must employ in order to be successful.

John H. Graham has been the President and CEO of the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) since 2003, and he has been involved in associations for more than 40 years. Previously, he served as CEO of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for 13 years and worked for a total of 24 years at ADA.
