[5] Remembering Lynn Melby, CAE


WSAE fondly remembers Lynn Melby and the profound impact he made on our association community.
Lynn was a guiding light of the association profession in Washington state and nationally— a Fellow and active member of the American Society of Association Executives and was for many years executive director of the Washington Society of Association Executives. He was later named Executive of the Year and an honorary life member of the Society. Lynn mentored countless association and hospitality professionals, as well as innumerable nonprofit volunteer leaders, and was known by all as wise, funny, supportive, honorable, encouraging, goofy when needed, and above all, kind.
A memorial service will be held next week for our dear friend and colleague, Lynn Melby. This will be an opportunity for us to honor and celebrate Lynn's life. Everyone welcome.
