The weekly list of free educational events and resources for the association community…
Marketing. Emotional marketing appeals to your audience’s ego and desire to feel and look connected and smarter. TopClass LMS explains how to use emotional marketing triggers to persuade people to register for an educational program or conference.
Sponsor perspectives. Bruce Rosenthal and Lori Zoss Kraska share five valuable hard truths about sponsorships from Bruce’s interviews with 100 corporate sponsors. Their advice seems so obvious, yet apparently most associations need to hear it. You’re leaving money on the table!
Member app. Unlike social media, a mobile app provides a cohesive and centralized communication channel to your members. Bulletin describes several ways a member app can enhance and foster member engagement.
Market perception. Keep the Seal of Approval concept in mind when examining your association’s offerings and unique value propositions, says Dr. Michael Tatonetti in a post by Carolyn Shomali at Professionals for Association Revenue. Everything you put out there in the world carries an implicit or explicit Seal of Approval. What do your members and target audiences think of yours?
Analytics. Dave Bornmann at Association Analytics shares five convincing points to use when making a case for a bigger data analytics budget. He pairs each one with relatable examples to drive the point home.
Online community. Why do members join associations? To connect with and learn from other members, which is why online communities are a must. And they’re extremely popular with younger audiences too. Nimble AMS explains how an online community can help you attract, engage, and retain members. They also provide a useful plan for launching and managing a community.
Live website chat. Sheri Budziak at orgSource writes about the benefits of offering a live chat (with a human) tool on your website. Even better, pair it with a chatbot and you end up with a “new power couple.”
AI adoption. MCI released a benchmark survey report on AI adoption in associations.

Dealing with data: how to create reports that work for everyone. (Intellidata)
Dr. Vinay Prasad speculates about the reasons his keynote at the American College of Clinical Pharmacy’s annual meeting was canceled. He wonders what it says that small groups of people online can cancel talks. Hopefully, your association would never cave into bullying like this. (The Free Press)
Social media platforms hate the written word. My beloved Twitter keeps getting less and less user-friendly because of Musk’s impulsive lack of foresight. (Ross Barkan)
Wow. In 2016, China reported 17.86 million births. This week, it reported 9.56 million births for 2022. That’s down by nearly half in just six years. I wonder how the regime will adapt (cause trouble) in the coming years. (Patrick T. Brown)
You never grow old at the table
Skip down to the list of free educational events if you prefer takeout.
Fish and more fish. First, Mummy Lorraine sheepshead with a topping of crushed Ritz crackers, lemon zest, garlic powder, and melted butter.
Then, fish tacos made with black sea bass and amberjack—a contrast of textures. My spice rub included ancho chile powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Into the tortillas went the fish, avocado, pico de gallo, and southwestern slaw made with green cabbage, carrot, red bell pepper, sweet onion, cilantro, lime juice, rice wine vinegar, light olive oil, hot sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper.
If you have a free webinar or event coming up, please send me the link by Wednesday afternoon the week before it’s scheduled. I’m happy to feature it as long as it’s not too product-centric.
