WASHINGTON, DC, and NEW ORLEANS, LA — ASAE and Sidecar today announced a strategic partnership to deliver comprehensive artificial intelligence education to the association community.
Through this partnership, ASAE members can subscribe to Sidecar's AI Learning Hub with exclusive member benefits. The specialized platform offers practical, on-demand AI education tailored specifically for association professionals and includes access to the Association AI Professional (AAiP) certification program, which validates expertise in both foundational and applied AI.
“Artificial intelligence is opening new doors for how associations serve their industries and communities,” said Michelle Mason, FASAE, CAE, President and CEO of ASAE. “Our partnership ensures association professionals have access to trusted, relevant AI education — so they can lead with purpose, strengthen trust, and drive meaningful results.”
The Sidecar AI Learning Hub features courses covering AI strategy, prompt engineering, data analytics, events, marketing, member communications, and more. Sidecar’s AI Learning Hub also features hundreds of examples of how to apply AI. All content is designed specifically for the association and nonprofit professional.
"There's a clear mandate for all leaders today. Ensure everyone in the organization has the opportunity to learn and apply AI," said Amith Nagarajan, Chairman of Blue Cypress and co-founder of Sidecar. "Both ASAE and Sidecar recognize that successful AI transformation means bringing every single team member along on the journey. When association leaders invest in training their entire teams, they foster cultures of innovation that better serve their members and communities."
ASAE members will receive an exclusive discount on individual and team subscriptions. The partnership launches immediately, with members able to access the platform through a dedicated ASAE landing page. ASAE will share additional details with members soon on how to access the Sidecar AI Learning Hub and take advantage of their member benefits.
