My Top 5 Takeaways from this week's ASAE #Tech12 : I loved Dave Coriale 's IGNITE on technology trends and innovations. If you read this blog at all, you know I'm a huge proponent of MIT's Technology Review. Dave's presentation highlighted why. We all need to be shaken out of the comfort zone of what we know and can see coming on a regular basis. Is your association going to use 3-D printing to make a new kidney for someone?

You may already be aware of The Guardian’s Voluntary Sector Network. The newspapers free member’s only online community has grown to over 6,000 subscribers since it was launched in 2010. The Network is essentially an online portal of articles of interest to those working in or with the voluntary sector. I have watched with interest as they have grown the network, continually increasing their offer and refining their communications.

image source My Too Big to Measure post has generated some good comments and plenty of retweets. It even inspired the folks over at SocialFish to repost it in its entirety , emphasizing and re-asking the question that inspired me to write it. Who is doing the hard work of engaging everyone to determine what to measure and how? I'm curious to see who responds and how.

The very first words in our book Humanize are from the character Morpheus, in the movie The Matrix : Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. In the movie, the irony to which he refers is the fact that the machines now control and exploit humans in order to get their energy.

Across the nonprofit sector, organizations invest heavily in donor retention efforts, yet the struggle of cultivating lasting relationships remains. While attracting new donors is crucial, the lack of repeat donors poses significant financial risks. Through a comprehensive analysis of industry data, experts argue that there is a direct correlation between donor burnout, donor retention, and the talent retention crisis.

Having worked in/with a number of membership organisations across the last few years, it never surprises me how many different approaches there are to the ‘Christmas shut down’ dilemma. On the one-hand as a membership body it is important to be open and available for members, so having staff on-hand to respond to members during the post Christmas/pre New Year period can be important.

The headline in the email from smartbrief captured my attention: 6 Reasons that Women Make Great Leaders. Congratulations to marketer who wrote that subject line! It got me to open the email and click on the article. The article, however, has me shaking my head a bit (not in a bad way, but in a perplexed way). It cited some research on increased performance in companies with more women leaders or boards that had women on them.
Speaker: Tim Buteyn, President of ThinkingKap Learning Solutions
💢 Do you find yourself stuck in never-ending review cycles? Are you wondering if your Subject Matter Expert actually got that last review request?

I walked into the newly expanded Apple Store at Knox Henderson on the day of the release of the next version of the iPhone. I hesitated at first thinking it would be packed with crowds but my iPhone was stuck in the middle of an upgrade. I needed help and I needed it fast. There was a line around the block to get in and the store was jammed. Since I was not there to pick up the new iPhone, I got to walk past the line.

Looking back over 2012, I’ve done a number of presentations spanning from advocacy to middle children. Whenever I prepare for a presentation, I start by drafting notes. Notes are a great way to organize your thoughts and ensure that you stay on topic. Recently, I was asked to give remarks to student members in town for a visit. As usual, I sat down and sketched out what I wanted to say.

According to Jakob Nielsen , the average website visitor spends less than a minute on any page in your site and decides whether or not to stay on your site in about 10 seconds. With such a short time to convince them to read your association’s great content – much less to get them to join – you need to make an impression and get them to hang around a bit.

What is Your Association's RPM (Revenue Per Member)? When I interviewed Rob Fowler, president/CEO of the Small Business Association Of Michigan, for my September 20 post about SBAM’s freemium membership model , he talked about their Revenue Per Member or RPM metric. It made me realize many association’s may not think about the importance of knowing your RPM.

The group of 16 had gathered around the table to put the past behind them…” Sounds like the beginning of a novel – a story about change, a story about letting go of the past and looking forward to the future. Well, it is.
