Approaching the ALN 10th Anniversary later this year, it is not surprising that Sociology is taking center stage in our activities. We have come to learn that the tools and processes of asset management work well. Establishing a culture of asset management is the greatest challenge. To help with establishing a culture of asset management, we are focusing more on social implications. The Social Impact of Asset Management Seminar is on May 10, 3:30 pm ET in Philadelphia and online. Also, the American Journal of Economics and Sociology is having an Asset Management Issue and ALN Senior Fellows and Organizational Members are invited to submit articles. See more about both below.
ALN Senior Fellow Marty Rowland, PhD. and Jim Dieter, ALN CEO, and US TAG Chair will be our guests on ALN Th@3 pm ET discussion program this week to address the American Journal of Economics and Sociology and the Social Impact of Asset Management Seminar.

Unlocking Public Wealth
An article on the International Monetary Fund’s website is co-authored by Dag Detter and points out that governments have more wealth than they account for. Detter, who has keynoted at an ALN Annual Event, and his co-author Stefan Folster, point out that properly accounting for government assets may free up these public organizations to address societal issues that are inhibiting growth and equity. The economic part of asset management sociology cannot be overlooked as a critical element in evolving the outcomes of government organizations.
