Atlanta, GA (December 9, 2009) — Jim Fowler, a Senior Account Executive with Kellen Company, has been elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the Georgia Society of Association Executives (GSAE) for the 2010-2012 term. The Atlanta-based GSAE is dedicated to enhancing association professionalism in Georgia through connections and community with a focus on knowledge exchange, strategic leadership and innovation. As a Certified Association Executive, Fowler works on behalf of several Kellen Company association clients in the food industry.
“The nominating committee strives to provide a balance of representation by selecting executives and corporate supplier directors who represent a variety of types of associations, differing locations, and strong depths of experience in various activities of GSAE. Jim Fowler’s leadership and vision as the co-chair of GSAE’s branding task force provides a great background for his new role, setting and guiding the society’s strategic plan,” said Wendy Kavanagh, CAE, executive director.

"I am honored to be elected to such an important seat and I look forward to assisting the GSAE in its mission to advance the profession of association management," said Fowler.
