ALBANY, NY (08/09/2011)(readMedia)-- ESSAE to Hold Annual Association Wellness & Wisdom Day at Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort

The Empire State Society of Association Executives, Inc. will hold its annual Association Wellness & Wisdom Day at Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort on September 1, 2011. A four season property in Hancock Massachusetts, 45 minutes from Albany, Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort is the largest ski and snowboard resort in southern New England, and the only mountain resort in North America to generate its own energy using alternative wind power.

Wellness & Wisdom Day will begin with a Wisdom education session at 10:00 am with a rousing session of motivational humor titled "THERE IS MORE" presented by professional speaker and comedian Dave Celestian. Dave's distinctive blend of intellect and quick witted humor delivers a refreshing style of motivation that's both thought-provoking and compelling, merging ideas and experiences with the realisms of daily life.

Following the Wisdom component are a plethora of Wellness activities including ESSAE's annual golf tournament on Waubeeka Golf Links in nearby Williamstown - rated 4 out of 5 stars by Golf Digest. Jiminy's own Adventure Parks offer ambitious rope courses, a perfect opportunity for work team challenges, an alpine slide, a mountain coaster and a giant swing, providing hours of fun for family members. Swimming, tennis, fishing, and hiking are additional Wellness activities available right on the grounds at Jiminy. Attendees also have the option to visit local areas of interest including spas, Mass MoCA, and multiple museums and places of historical relevance.

The day will conclude with an island themed cocktail reception and dinner, complete with golf awards, networking opportunities and camaraderie. More details and registration are online at www.essae.org.
