Jerry Ash

Jerry is a lifelong communicator whose experience has included a broad spectrum of advocacy and leadership roles including university professor, editor, publisher, author, state senator, hospital public relations director, CEO of a state hospital association, and executive director of an organ donor organization. In every role, he has been an innovator and agent of change.

He is internationally known as a pioneer in the emerging new business strategy of knowledge or intellectual asset management and is one of the E-100 global leaders recognized by Entovatoin International, pioneers in Innovation. His articles and opinions have been published in Communications World, Knowledge, Inc., Computer World, CIO Canada, Association Management and the i3 Update of the UK.

Jerry uses information technology by teaming with IT professionals and focuses on information content and application as the centerpiece of the business process for the Knowledge Age. People, he insists, are the basis of all knowledge; computers the great enablers. He was the founder and moderator of the Association KM (Knowledge Management) Network. He continues to provide strategic counseling to other associations through The Forbes Group.

During six years as CEO of the Nevada Hospital Association, he led the turnaround of the organization. As executive director of LifeGift organ donor centers in Texas, he teamed with its technology-wise employees to build the first-of-its-kind 24-hour communications network connecting 180 voluntary hospitals from the Gulf Coast to the Texas Panhandle and increasing organ referral by 20 percent and tissue referral by 300 percent in the startup year.

Jerry holds bachelors and masters degrees in journalism from West Virginia University.
