Welcome to CEO Update - the comprehensive source on association jobs, news, and people. Since our first issue in 1991, thousands of association and nonprofit executives have used CEO Update to advance their careers, track new leaders and executive staff, and stay abreast of recruiting trends in the association and nonprofit world.

Every two weeks, CEO Update's print newsletter reports the latest vacancies and upcoming searches in assocations and nonprofits, news on who is landing and leaving the top jobs, and information you can use to manage your career. 

Although CEO Update publishes more information on executive openings in associations and nonprofits than anyone else, jobs are not the only reason you should be reading CEO Update.

Jobs and New Hire Announcements

CEO Update reports on senior-level openings in associations, professional societies, and nonprofits. We cover the CEO spot and executive management openings. Often these jobs are not published anywhere else. 

How we do it
CEO Update isn't a job board or classified ads. We take a proactive approach to uncovering executive job openings through research and established contacts with executive recruiting firms and contacts in the association community. No other source comes close to CEO Update's coverage of these sought-after positions.

Be the first to know
CEO Update researches openings from the moment a search is expected. When an exec leaves for another job, we call their former organization for search details. When an exec retires, resigns, or is fired, we start the research process. Many times this research produces a 'Search Expected' announcement, which indicates that a formal search is anticipated. CEO Update continues to track openings through the entire process with updates every step of the way.

From start to finish
You'll be the first to know when a job opens up, what executive recruiter gets the assignment, and, finally, who got the job. No other source can match CEO Update's coverage.

CEO Update provides comprehensive coverage of openings in the association and nonprofit arena because we are a free recruiting service to executive recruiters and employer organizations. Other resources typically receive their revenues from listing fees, which limits the information flow. CEO Update accepts no listing fees. Additionally, we perform targeted research and report on the top association vacancies. That's why you will see more actionable information on upper-level executive career opportunities in CEO Update than anywhere else.
