Scene one: I’m in New Orleans on vacation wandering down Frenchmen Street in Faubourg Marigny looking for a good place to hang out and hear some tunes on a Wednesday night. First stop: the Spotted Cat. It was so packed I couldn’t get in the door (literally), so I hung out on the sidewalk with a WIDE mix of characters (and nobody does “characters” like NOLA) for a while enjoying the music wafting out…for free.

The weekly list of free educational events and resources for the association community… Generative AI. AI content is short-term arbitrage , not a long-term content marketing strategy, says Ryan Law at Ahrefs. Google doesn’t look kindly on AI-infused content. You won’t stand out in your market or connect and build trust with your audience if you’re publishing mediocre AI-generated content.

What if we weren’t afraid to share new ideas? What if we removed “we have always done it that way” from our vocabularies?

What if (perish the thought!), we actually told members NO? I actually suspect that most associations already do this, but we do it in the wrong way. We say “no” all the time. Only it’s called, “That’s against association policy.” Which, aside from “we’re out of bourbon,” might be my least favorite four words in the English language.

Stuff is falling off your plate. You’re surrounded by a scary pile of responsibilities. You could delegate. But you don’t have the time to bring another staffer up to speed. Or you might hire new talent, but an opportunity to interview and onboard seems as elusive as a vacation day. Unfortunately, this Catch 22 is standard operating procedure in some associations.

A vibrant online community is a sign of a thriving, successful organization—it signifies active engagement, robust knowledge-sharing, and a connected membership. On the flip side, a stagnant community can be a silent threat. Disengagement creeps in slowly and steadily, sometimes going unnoticed until it seems too late. Before stagnation creeps in, it's important to recognize the signs of decline and take steps to inject new life into your community.
