In Memoriam

GSAE joins the association community as we mourn the passing of R. William Taylor, CAE. Bill first served ASAE as a committed volunteer leader in numerous capacities rising to Chairman of the Board in 1974–1975. In 1976, Bill received ASAE’s highest award for volunteer service, The Key Award. Then in 1982, Bill joined the staff of ASAE and served as President & CEO until 1998 where he had a lasting and profound impact on the growth of ASAE and the development of the profession of association management. Bill served as the Abit Massey Lecturer in 1987. The obituary has been provided by the Taylor family.
