BIO
Catherine
Lux is the Program Director for Career Services and Endorsed Programs
for the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE). In her role,
she manages ASAE’s online career center, CareerHQ.org, which includes
an online job board, coaching and resume services, salary data, and
articles for association management professionals. Lux recently joined
the ASAE Services team in November 2008.
Prior to joining ASAE,
she spent eight years in association management at the American
Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS).
At AIAS, she developed and expanded the profitable, well-received
industry-wide competitions (member programs) while concurrently
coordinating annual conference growth and logistics, member
communications and association website, and member services/benefits.
The sponsored competitions contributed to approximately 10% of total
AIAS revenue. This non-dues revenue allowed for recruitment of
additional senior-level staff as well as allowed the organization to
embark on a capital campaign to raise additional funds for leadership
and community service initiatives.
Ms. Lux created exposure for the organization in print media including
AARP Magazine, Los Angeles Times and online journals. She also expanded
worldwide participants/potentials of established competitions to an
average of 450 entries per year (400% growth rate).
A native Hoosier, Catherine attended DePauw University in Greencastle,
IN. She majored in English Literature and Communications Arts and
Sciences.
