2026 Association Industry Partner of the Year ✦ Sherry Whitaker Budziak is clear: real technology transformation in associations is less about tools and more about people, culture, and the courage to rethink how work gets done.

As founder and CEO of .orgSource and co-founder of .orgCommunity, she has spent decades helping association leaders use innovation and AI to redesign processes, not just layer new platforms onto old habits.

Want to hear directly from Sherry and celebrate her impact on the association community? Join us at the Salute to Association Excellence this March, where she’ll be honored alongside fellow 2026 awardees.
