Birthday weeks always put me in a reflective mood. Over the last few days, I’ve been thinking about…. …what I accomplished, or didn’t, this past year, and what I hope to achieve in the coming year. …what habits I’ve developed, broken, and want to develop. …how I’ve been spending my time, and how I rather spend my time. …how I can help others because, well, it’s not all about me.

As expected, I received a confirmation email thanking me for the request and the approximate time I’d receive the brochure. But, I also received an email that stated I just created a new account to access all of their websites and tips about how to get started. as a new member.

Why are Digital Badges the future of Association Education? The way we learn is constantly evolving. Association members use their professional social networks, curated feeds, and a myriad of other digital channels to enhance their professional skills. At the same time, the means whereby learning/training is recognized, accredited and validated is also changing.

“ I’ve got the sweetest hangover, I don’t want to get over… ”. Not that kind of hangover. I’ve got the post-ASAE Annual buzz. This is the emotion you want to trigger when marketing your conference—that warm, happy, inspired, charged-up feeling of belonging to a tribe who gets what you do and loves what you love. It’s that buzz you get from discovering and developing new ideas with people sitting across the room or around the table.

When I graduated college 16 years ago, times were different. I had a job before graduation and I never questioned the value of my degree. While I had an internship, the focus then on skills (vs. education) wasn’t nearly as strong. Today, students need internships before entering the workforce. And then comes the price tag. My son is a freshman this year and soon, we’ll be looking at colleges.
