Juggling their work, family, and social lives with association service isn’t as easy as it used to be.

Why Scoring Member Engagement Matters, Part 2
SocialFish
JUNE 11, 2012
Choosing the Best Indicators to Measure Engagement. Members who engage in a way that is aligned with their association’s strategic goals directly help the association grow stronger and more relevant. Any association that has the ability to objectively score member engagement is in the enviable position of being able to measure the effectiveness of its members in supporting its strategy. Composite Engagement Score (CES) allows you to do just that.
Why Scoring Member Engagement Matters, Part 3
SocialFish
AUGUST 6, 2012
Deciding on your association’s top strategic priorities leads you to the step of discovering Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that measure engagement of each member relative to those priorities. The key to KPI selection is that the KPI measures the engagement of the member in advancing the strategic priority. That is, it needs to measure the activity of the member that has a direct impact on achieving the strategic objective.

To start, figure out where your member-related data is stored at the database level, so that it can be extracted over time in a consistent manner. This worksheet will have the member ID, the KPI name, and the KPI value.

27 March 2012. Theres a bit of a fracas currently occurring around the selection of James Carville and Karl Rove as opening keynoters for the 2012 ASAE Annual Meeting. To me, it raises a much larger question: how does a member change the direction of the organizational ship, if s/hes not happy with where its going? for that group of members to provide a list of choices or to vet ASAEs list of choices.
