Association Brain Food Weekly: 4.3.20

Free professional development resources and events for CAEs, association staff and others in the association community

The weekly list of free educational events and resources for the association community…

Free professional development resources and events for CAEs, association staff and others in the association community

Sponsorships. Please participate in a short survey on the impact of COVID-19 on association conference sponsorships. The goal for this Partnership Professionals Network survey is to collect and share the concerns and insights of association staff. The findings from the survey will be disseminated by the Partnership Professionals Network via e-newsletter and website.

Experiment. I love the message Garth Jordan, SVP and Chief Strategy Officer for HFMA, delivers in Association Success. He says, “Association leaders, the time to experiment is right now.” I completely agree. Take advantage of this opportunity to try new things. Sure, maybe some won’t work but members will be forgiving in these trying times. Pun intended.

Volunteering. Purpose helps alleviate stress and anxiety. MemberSuite suggests calling your regular volunteers back to duty (if possible) and providing opportunities for virtual volunteering—and they have quite a list of virtual volunteering ideas.

Chapter leader communication. This week, Billhighway writes about communicating with chapter leaders—the most amazing volunteers of all. They share guidelines on the best communication style, options for different types of virtual meetings with chapter leaders, and ways to provide chapter leaders with news, resources and advice.

Repurposing cancelled conferences. WBT Systems describes options for repurposing content from a cancelled conference, such as online learning programs, podcasts and virtual conferences. They also explain how to prepare attendees for a virtual conference.

LMS selection. I have a feeling many associations will allocate more resources in the future to online learning. DelCor’s Tobin Conley, CAE, provides a list of selection criteria for a new learning management system.

Employee support. Jamie Notter suggests things you can do to support your employees’ success right now. “Their bandwidth is taxed, and the external support will go a long way. They probably won’t ask for it, either, as external support has not been something they have experienced as strongly in the culture.”

Hunger. Food banks are helping to feed kids who normally rely on school breakfasts and lunches as their nutrition for the day. You can help these kids out—as well as all the people, young and old, who have been laid off—by supporting your local food bank. Find yours on the Feeding America website. If you’re in North Carolina, I hope you’ll support the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina.

Quick hits before we get to the list of this week’s free education:

  • This pandemic offers an opportunity to experiment with meaningful digital gatherings. (Priya Parker, New York Times)
  • How to use cognitive reframing to take control when you’re emotionally overwhelmed by the coronavirus crisis. (Markham Heid, Medium)
  • COVID-19’s ripple effect: mapping out the societal and economic consequences. (Michael Jones et al, Notion)
  • Maybe you’ve seen this one before, it’s strangely mesmerizing, the fish jumping upstream… grizzly bears at Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, Alaska. (Explore Bears & Bison, YouTube)

Good eats—skip down to the list of free webinars if you’re not into cooking:

  • The best thing about this Bon Appetit recipe for crispy skinned fish with herb sauce was the sauce. I made more than I needed so I had leftover sauce for pasta lunches. But their cooking method didn’t work for me, my white grunt stuck to the pan. Grunt! Don’t know why, don’t blame the fish. Maybe I needed more oil, maybe I didn’t dry out the skin enough, who knows.
  • Another super sauce from Bon Appetit: blueline tilefish (instead of cod) poached in tomato curry. I took the advice in the comments and made these changes: increased the garlic and spices; added a jalapeño and scallion whites; used halved grape tomatoes; quadrupled the coconut cream (I used the entire can, why waste it?); and added a little fish sauce and scallion greens at the end. I served it over 90-second Uncle Ben’s jasmine rice—my time/effort saver.
  • This week’s highlight was calamari fra diavolo. I had two pounds of frozen squid (tubes and tentacles) just waiting for its moment. It came Sunday. Oh, this was good. The sauce was a bit thin but fine for serving over wheat spaghetti and dipping store-bought focaccia.
  • A week can’t go by without talking about greens. This week I had quite a collection from my produce drawer clean-out: collards, zesty greens (not sure what was in this mix from my CSA farmer), arugula, and radish greens. First, I sautéed linguica, red and sweet onion, scallions, and jalapeño, then added the greens.

Here are the educational events scheduled for next week. If you have any free webinars or events coming up, please send me the link. I’ll be happy to feature it as long as it’s not product-centric.

Stay safe, stay well, take care.
