Deck the halls! Join us for our winter soiree. 
Let the warmth of friendship take the chill from the air and the spirit of the season make winter easier to bear. 
We hope you will join us for this annual event, where you can celebrate with peers, colleagues, clients, and friends!

Call for Auction Items
Auction items can be anything & everything! Wine baskets, museum and city tours, complimentary dining experiences, overnight stay packages, area attractions, sporting events, and so much more! This is your chance to be creative and design an enticing auction item. The holiday auction affords you the perfect opportunity to showcase your brand, services, venue and destination! And best of all, support a very important scholarship fund! We hope you will consider taking part in this special holiday experience that helps us support our association professionals. We look forward to seeing you on the auction floor!

Sponsorship Opportunities available! 
The air is getting colder, the holidays are near, a time for celebration with those we hold so dear! This highly anticipated event offers a great marketing opportunity for suppliers wishing to earn recognition for their support of ESSAE and the association community. Sponsorships are available on a first come, first served basis. Please check your preferred sponsorship option. Don’t see something that fits within your budget? Call us to customize your sponsorship packet!

Fifty percent (50%) of this year's silent auction proceeds will benefit the 
Rita Lashway Foundation
The Rita Lashway Foundation, Scholarship Program program serves to provide funding for association professionals who wish to expand their knowledge and expertise in the field of association management. Whether in the early years of a promising career or a more tenured position, ongoing professional development is necessary to hone skills and maintain cutting edge creativity. Everyone benefits from advanced training and development opportunities. Yet not everyone works for associations that can afford to fund certification opportunities to their staff. By contributing to this program, we help to ensure the continued professional growth of colleagues who represent and are dedicated to our profession.

Cost: $65 per person
