Spotlight Shines on Outstanding Associations, Board Members, and Executives

Manila, Philippines – The Philippine Council of Associations and Association Executives (PCAAE) will once again celebrate excellence in the association community through the ANG SUSI Awards 2025, which recognize outstanding achievements of associations, board members, and executives.

ANG SUSI, which stands for “Associations nurture National Growth through Social Unity and Sustainability Innovations,” honors the vital role of associations and membership organizations and their leaders in advancing national sustainable development.

The awards feature two main categories: individual and institutional.

Under the individual category are:

• Association Executive of the Year, presented to an exceptional career professional who has effectively led and managed an association with sustainable impact and outstanding results; and
• Association Board Member of the Year, awarded to a board leader who exemplifies exemplary service to the association community, upholds good governance, and advances the ideals and advocacies of PCAAE.

The institutional Outstanding Project Awards recognize membership organizations that have made remarkable contributions in six areas: environmental impact, people empowerment, community service, industry development, technology innovation, and change catalyst. These awards honor associations whose initiatives have significantly benefited society, business, and the environment.

The ANG SUSI Awards 2025 will be presented in person during the 13th Associations Summit (AS13) on November 6, 2025, at the Clark Event and Conference Hall in Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga. The one-day Summit is expected to gather around 100 association professionals from the Philippines and abroad.

The event is supported by the Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) and the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) as host partners.
