ACE Affiliate Membership and ESR Application

The ACE Affiliate Membership Program offers engagement opportunities and access to ACE leadership and members; communications and insights to help you understand how to better serve campuses throughout the country; year-round visibility and brand awareness; and special opportunities aligned with the ACE Annual Meeting, the nation’s premier higher education event.

The ACE Executive Search Roundtable (ESR) was established in 1985 as a means of addressing the mutual interests of ACE and executive search firms in the continuing identification of talented leaders for our nation’s colleges and universities. The Roundtable exists to support ACE in its continuing efforts to:

Improve the quality of leadership in higher education.
Diversify that leadership in terms of gender, race, and ethnicity.
Promote the highest standards in the process of search and selection.
Educate the higher education community about search processes with or without the use of consultants.

If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the Advancement office at advancement@acenet.edu.
