Avectra Insights from Deirdre – About Me

Thanks for clicking on my link to learn more about me. As a guest blogger, I bring a different perspective to the Avectra blog. I worked for ten years at national and state associations overseeing membership, vendor programs, marketing, publications, chapter relations and more. Like many of you, I juggled a lot of roles and responsibilities – that’s what I think makes association work both fascinating and challenging.

Although I now make my living as a freelance writer, the association community remains my professional home. I’m still proud about receiving the Certified Association Executive designation in 2010 from my national association, the American Society of Association Executives. I’m an active volunteer in my state association, the Association Executives of North Carolina.

I’m pleased to be one of the resident association geeks on the Avectra guest blogger team. Every week I’ll share with you thoughts, ideas, advice or fodder for discussion about membership, community, social media, volunteering or whatever else is buzzing in the association world.
