(Bud) Smith, RCE, AE Leadership Society for her outstanding leadership and a willingness to help others.

"I am honored to be named to this society beside these incredibly distinguished alumnae," said Grant.

I am truly humbled by this recognition."

To be considered for induction into the Smith Society, nominees must demonstrate they have brought credit to the profession of association management through their personal involvement in advancing the purposes of the organization at the local, state and national level; provided leadership in ways that have benefited the organization, the members or other association executives; or made other significant contributions that have advanced their organization in meaningful ways.
