It’s been a great week in Dayton, Ohio as I wrap up my time at the 2015 Ohio Association of Association Executives Annual Conference. And while there wasn’t a specific session on Learning Management Systems , I heard from a number of association executives asking questions about LMS’s and what they need do be doing for their associations regarding this technology.

When we did our interviews with Millennials as part of the research for When Millennials Take Over , we were struck by how.perplexed the Millennials were with the way organizations are run. They just don't understand why they are forced to use outdated or ineffective tools, or why information is not shared across levels or across departments. They are not demanding change in some "entitled" way, as older generations often accuse them.

I'm describing in a series of blog posts the different elements that make up my association's Strategy Agenda--a new term I've introduced in my organization to represent the essential work product of our Board of Directors.

We are a story driven world. We are each a story wrapped in a skin says Dr. Leonard Sweet. When we begin to share our journeys, our stories intersect.

We need to move from storytelling to story sharing each passing our stories and narraphors to each other like we pass food around the table.

It can be difficult for Seventh-day Adventists to achieve a balance when it comes to politics, but a new networking group hopes to make things a little less isolating for political figures worldwide. The Seventh-day Adventist Church maintains a longstanding neutral position on candidates running for elected office, and that can prove challenging for church members who also happen to be politicians.

Giving away product is an essential way of doing business. But associations should also consider moving prices in the other direction. Free is winning. As you probably know from various news stories as well as your inbox, this week marks the release of Windows 10, the latest version of Microsoft’s PC operating system. Bigger than any changes within the OS itself, in many ways, is the price tag attached to the upgrade: Microsoft is giving it away for free to those who already have Windows install

All leaders eventually leave. Is your association ready for when its top exec departs? Plus: where branded content is most likely to be trusted. Look around at those who occupy the leadership positions of many associations, and take note of their office accessories.
