The MSAE serves as the ‘association for associations’ in the Midwest. Its mission is to advance and serve associations in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. The organization provides professional development, continuing education, career growth, and networking with other association professionals. MSAE is a community of more than 1,000 association members from nearly 300 Midwest associations.
