Quota International Wins Keystone Award for Excellence in Membership

Quota International, Inc., has been selected as a trophy winner in the 2000 American Society of Association Executives Keystone Awards for Excellence in Membership in the category of Best Leadership Development Program.

The Encouraging Leadership Program, created by Quota staff as part of the Leaders as Listeners strategic program, was chosen for excellence in this effort to train leaders to listen to, celebrate, support, and encourage their respective membership constituencies and to find new ways for past leaders to participate in Quota International after leaving office.

ASAE is the leading membership organization for association professionals worldwide with over 25,000 members representing nearly 13,000 organizations. The annual Keystone Awards pay tribute to top association programs in membership marketing, development, and services.

Quota's Executive Director Kathleen Treiber and Deputy Executive Director Nancy Fitzpatrick received the award on December 12, 2000, at the ASAE Management and Technology Conference in Washington, D.C. In addition, Quota's Leadership Encouragement Program will be featured in ASAE's Membership Developments e-newsletter.
