Association Leaders
APRIL 16, 2012
I work everyday to be a leader in my business. I develop a vision; get buy in for that vision from my team; give direction and measurable outcomes or expectations to my team members; I gather data from team members regarding how they’re doing in accomplishing their assigned outcomes and try to help them make adjustments as necessary. Seems kind of simple.

How’s your first-year member retention rate? Not that great? You’re not alone.

Ha ha. I can only imagine what you’re thinking right now, but I promise there’s an important lesson here to be learned (at the very least, considered). This past weekend, I had a bit of time on my hands. I started by catching up on past episodes of “The Voice.” For those that don’t know, “The Voice” is an American Idol-style singing competition inviting vocalists from across the country to compete in three stages of competition: the blind audition, a battle phase and the live perform

The problem I have with most social networking is that you can’t ask follow up questions. Like a lot of people, I suppose, it took me a while to warm to Twitter and Facebook. I was initially put off by the sheer triviality of an overwhelming majority of the traffic. I mean really: I don’t [.].

Recently, I helped my client The Institute of Biomedical Science carry out a members’ survey. We were really pleased with the 25% response rate, and they are now looking at the feedback and preparing work plans. I thought it would be useful to share a few of the things we did, which I think helped to secure the good response rate: Gain Council/Board/Trustee buy-in – we were lucky that the Council were supportive of the project.

I love my iPad. I really I love my iPad. I probably use it more than my office desktop and television combined. It’s not only a great way to watch videos, read e-books and check email and social media networks, it’s also becoming a part of how I do my job as an association lobbyist. In the process, I’ve discovered some apps and other items that every iPad-toting lobbyist should have in their arsenal. 1. 112th Congress Member Directory: Produced by the Government Printing Off

Tweet. Imagine the following conversation. Eeeeghads! Our organization will fade away in 10-15 years if we don’t start reaching a younger generation. Our membership is mostly Baby Boomers. Most will retire in 15 years. We’re not sure if they will retain membership with us or not. We’ve got to attract more GenX and Millennials. What do we do?

In a world where behemoths like Facebook and Twitter dominate the social media landscape, I frequently run into the belief that small online communities are not viable. This is reflected to a certain degree in the 1-9-90 rule of contributors vs lurkers, which would seem to suggest that you need hundreds, if not thousands, of community members in order to have a handful of reliable contributors.

Tweet. Hardwired into every one is the desire to communicate! We crave and need communication with each other. Listening to conference lectures is one-sided. It doesn’t provide the same fulfillment as two-way dialogue with our peers. As long as our attendees participate in speaker monologues and panel dialogues, they lack the ability to grow social bonds with other participants.
