Last month, the WSAE Board approved the Marketing & Communication Committee’s recommendation to change the name of The Washington Executive to The Washington Confluence: Where Association News & Views Come Together. The name change is accompanied by a refreshed visual identity with new imagery that embodies the creative and artistic approach the Committee took with identifying the magazine’s new name. Watch for the Winter 2023 issue coming soon to your email box.
