WASHINGTON, Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) has recently named Amy Lestition Burke, MA, FASAE, CAE, Senior Vice President, Engagement, MCI USA, to ASAE's 2021 class of Fellows. The Fellows program recognizes exceptional association leaders making noteworthy and sustained contributions of leadership to their organizations, ASAE and the association management profession.

"As a Fellow myself, I am thrilled to be able to celebrate this important recognition with her throughout our careers."

With my innovative and solutions-oriented mindset, I'm excited to play a role in developing new initiatives to solve challenges for the association management community."
