Viles 1928 2016 HeadshotAMPED Association Management is proud to announce that Emily Viles-Monari has earned the prestigious 2018 Forty Under 40 Award from Association Forum of Chicago and USAE Weekly Newspaper.

“It is an honor to have been selected for the 2018 Forty Under 40 award, and I am thrilled to be able to share this experience with so many talented industry professionals, including many of those in my ASAE 2017 NextGen class,” she said. “I know that my success is a reflection of the great mentors, colleagues and peers I have the pleasure of working and growing with. They have impacted both my career and life in ways I could never thank them enough for.”

Viles-Monari is the Meeting Technology Manager at AMPED and a 2014 graduate of the University of Wisconsin. While she initially began working at AMPED to earn experience before heading to law school, after four years, she’s discovered she has a passion for association work.

“It has been so gratifying watching Emily grow professionally at AMPED,” said AMPED President and Owner Lynda J. Patterson, CAE, FASAE. “Emily has created her own role as she got more experience and found her true passion. We are all so proud of her for being recognized this way. It’s wonderful to see that others in our industry have noticed too!”

The Forty Under 40 Award is given to 40 accomplished association or non-profit professionals who are under the age of 40, demonstrate high potential for continued success in leadership roles and exhibit a strong passion for - and commitment to - the association management and nonprofit industries.

Viles-Monari and her fellow recipients received their awards at a private ceremony in Chicago on December 12, 2018.
