Loretta M. DeLuca is the founder, co-owner, and CEO of DelCor Technology Solutions, Inc. The business, initially started in 1984, was called PC Innovators, and specialized in database development projects and network implementations. In 1987, Ms. DeLuca re-incorporated when she took on a partner, and subsequently began specializing in providing technology management consulting and network systems services to nonprofit organizations.
Ms. DeLuca was recently selected as an American Society of Association Executives and Center for Association Leadership (ASAE & The Center) Fellow, a distinguished designation that represents consistent contributions and leadership in the association community. For almost 20 years, she has volunteered in many capacities in the industry, including as past Chair of ASAE & The Center’s Technology Council and as a past member of ASAE’s Industry Partner Alliance and the AssociationForum of Chicagoland’s Association Technology Advisory Task Force. Ms. DeLuca has been involved in a number of fundraising and educational programming activities and has participated on several planning committees and task forces. Additionally, she founded the Association Data Standards Consortium in 2003, a national effort to benefit the community by creating standards for the vendors that develop and implement software applications for the association/nonprofit community. This effort was recently adopted by ASAE; a task force was formed which is co-chaired by Ms. DeLuca.
On a pro bono basis, her assistance ranges from providing advice to low-budget organizations on technology and business process issues to leading a fit analysis effort with the AFL-CIO to help model a membership management system for the union industry.
For five years, Ms. DeLuca and DelCor have organized and carried out a food drive to benefit the Capital Area Food Bank. Each year, the numbers of participating organizations in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and their donations have grown. In 2007, over 6,300 pounds of food were collected, enough to feed more than 7,600 people participating in the Kids’ Café’ program.
Ms. DeLuca has excellent oral and written communication skills which she not only applies in her every day role as business owner, but in her daily dealings with DelCor’s clients. Ms. DeLuca regularly presents education sessions, on a variety of technology related topics, at special interest groups and industry conferences, including ASAE’s Annual Conference, Technology Conference and Great Ideas Conference. She has also published articles in ASAE’s Associations Now, Forum and the former Executive Update (GWSAE) magazines. Ms. DeLuca co-authored a chapter entitled "Records Management and Database Issues" in Membership Operations, a book published by ASAE.
