Calabrese Management

Our staff are hard at work at the Pennsylvania Society for Association Excellence 2026 Connections Conference! From planning to ex*****on, we're dedicated to ensuring every detail is covered🎯

Recently, the Pennsylvania Society for Association Excellence (PASAE)’s Idea Exchange brought association leaders together to share insights, challenges, and real-world solutions.

From securing the right venue to designing interactive discussions around topics members care about most, our team takes care of the details that turn ideas into impactful experiences.

Calabrese Management provides leadership and extensive knowledge in many varied disciplines to our clients. Recently, our staff wrote an ASTM Standard Guide (F3699-24) and advocated for its passage on behalf of the National Playground Contractors Association, Inc. (NPCAI).

This Standard Guide establishes the knowledge that must be imparted during recreation area installer certification training programs, and requires those programs to provide an exam rooted in best practices that evaluates the knowledge retained by the participants. NPCAI’s Recreation Installation Specialist Certification (RISC) program fully aligns with this ASTM Standard Guide.

Calabrese Management staff knows how standard-setting organizations function and is experienced with managing professional certifications to ensure best practices are being followed for legally-defensible programs. We are proud to have helped NPCAI achieve this milestone.

This week, Calabrese Management staff presented a panel discussion for Messiah University’s PRSSA Chapter on marketing, communications, and event planning in the nonprofit sector. It was great getting to connect with the next generation of leaders in public relations. Thank you to Messiah University PRSSA for having us!
