Common lessons learned revolved around empathy, resilience, and the need for flexibility. One respondent shared, “The value of being ‘seen’ in the community has become even more important as we move out of the pandemic.” Another said, “We need to not rely heavily on association events and provide members with additional programming and opportunities to increase revenue streams.”
