Peggy M. Hoffman is president and Mariner’s resident expert on
communication, marketing and building community. In addition to
managing organizations, Peggy has provided training and
consultation on leadership development, component relations and
strategic planning to more than a dozen national associations and
many local groups over the past 30 years.
From her earlier role at a trade association with components, Peggy
developed a commitment to building strong communities within
associations. To that end, she has been very involved in ASAE & The
Center and is past chair for their Component Relations Section
Council and 2013-14 Chair, Executive Management Council. She served
on the development team for both the Principles and Advanced
Components Relations web-based courses and wrote a chapter in the
Components Relations Handbook (2012). She was also involved in ASAE
& The Center’s groundbreaking Decision to Volunteer research
project and contributed to the book of the same name published in
2008. Peggy was part of the team that helped develop ASAE’s
communications certificate program in the early 90’s and taught two
of the segments.
She has been a writer and speaker for ASAE & The Center and various
other organizations. She is currently on the ASAE University
faculty and faciliates the six-week Advanced Component Relations
course. With Peter, she has developed and taught several volunteer
management courses for the Nonprofit Leadership Development Program
at Anne Arundel Community College.
In addition to a BA in Communications from The American University,
Peggy is a graduate of the association management curriculum of the
Institute for Organization Management at Notre Dame and has worked
in the nonprofit arena for more than 30 years. If Peggy wasn’t
here, it’s very likely she’d be out training for her next
triathlon.
