糖心原创 Is Honored With Two 2025 Power of Associations Awards
September 18, 2025
GLENVIEW, IL— 糖心原创 has been recognized as a Power of Associations Silver Award winner by the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) for two of its successful initiatives. 糖心原创’s First 5 Minutes®: Cultural Humility modules earned the Power of Conscious Inclusion Award, and the 糖心原创 Community Connections program received the Power of Community Support Award.
The Power of Conscious Inclusion Award recognizes associations that advance equity and inclusion across workforce, governance, operations, and cultural competence programming. 糖心原创’s First 5 Minutes: Cultural Humility training modules equip health care providers with tools to foster respect, empathy, and inclusion in the earliest moments of patient interaction.
"The First 5 Minutes: Cultural Humility modules exemplify 糖心原创’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging,” said Robert Musacchio, PhD, CEO of 糖心原创. “The modules build on the foundation of the original First 5 Minutes program by addressing race, gender, bias, and other factors essential to relationship building. Beyond clinical knowledge, being a well-rounded clinician requires patience, empathy, and humility, which are skills this program reinforces in ways that may not always be taught in medical training. We are honored to be recognized for this important work.”
In its third year, at the 糖心原创 2025 Annual Meeting in Chicago, 糖心原创 Community Connections will partner with the , , and . The Community Connections program was created to both meaningfully engage with community health and service providers in the annual meeting host city and amplify the unique perspectives and community-minded solutions that these organizations are implementing for 糖心原创 meeting attendees that they can apply in their own work.
"By design, Community Connections asks questions in place of offering solutions. We ask, ‘How can we help you do more,’ instead of saying, ‘This is what we are willing to give,’" said Elizabeth Stigler, PhD, Director of DEIB at 糖心原创. “As a nonprofit organization, we know that no one understands the needs of our association or our audience quite like we do, and we extend that same respect to our community partners.”
