Virgina-based National Center for Homeopathy (NCH) announced that Alison Teitelbaum, MS, MPH, executive director, NCH, was selected by the Association Forum of Chicagoland and USAE weekly newspaper as one of the association management community’s 40 most accomplished and up-and-coming professionals under the age of 40.

“It is a wonderful feeling to be recognized by my peers and colleagues for my work in association management,” said Teitelbaum, who will be recognized at the Forty Under 40 Awards reception in December in Chicago, IL. “I am passionate about what I do, and I hope I am making a difference in the world through the associations I have had the pleasure to serve. I look forward to continuing my commitment to bettering the lives of others by serving as NCH’s executive director.”

The Forty Under 40 Award recognizes Teitelbaum’s demonstrated high potential for success in leadership roles and her strong commitment to the association management profession, reported the center. Teitelbaum became the chief staff executive for NCH in February 2013,  and prior to joining NCH, she served as a resident expert in social marketing, social media, and evaluation strategy at a mid-sized social good health communications consultancy.

Ann Jerome, president, NCH, said since coming to NCH, Teitelbaum has been an asset to NCH’s management structure, expanding education and communications initiatives, including executing a comprehensive rebrand for which NCH received an award from ASAE, a professional association for association executives.

“We are proud of Alison for her accomplishments and excited about the leadership she will continue to provide NCH that will advance our mission and reach,” said Jerome of Teitelbaum, who is actively involved in a number of professional organizations and currently serves as a member of the steering committee for the Health Communications Working Group (HCWG) of the American Public Health Association.
