Speaker biography: STC executive director Susan Burton, CAE, has
a 30-year track record of association management successes. She has
worked for a wide variety of trade and professional associations,
most recently as president and CEO of the American College of Health
Care Administrators, changing the culture to be responsive, open,
and transparent. She has served as the interim CEO for three
associations, each of which hired her to take them through a
transition to become more cost-effective and improve customer
service.
Prior to these assignments, Burton was the first paid CEO of the
Vision Council of America (VCA), which started as a desk in a law
office. Under her leadership, VCA grew to a $7 million association
with the second largest trade show on the globe. VCA's public
awareness program won prestigious American Society of Association
Executives and Public Relations Society of America awards for
increasing consumer awareness of the importance of eye care and
eyewear.
Burton has experience with every major functional area in
association management: chapter relations, membership, marketing,
meeting planning, finances, education, certification, publications,
advocacy, awards, and competitions. She has a B.A. in American
history and education and an M.A. in Chinese history, and she earned
the highest score in the nation when she became a Certified
Association Executive (CAE) in 1984.
