Sarah Sain, Naylor Association Solutions. We’ve all seen the #MondayMotivation quote on social media: “You only get out of life what you put into it.”. It’s meant to prepare us to start the week ready to work hard and give it everything we’ve got. After all, you can’t just sit around and wait for good things to happen. We have to grab those opportunities when they come and be looking for new ways to learn and grow.

The Grantmaking Pyramid, a graphic released by the Bridgespan Group and the Ford Foundation this week, is an attempt to help nonprofits think about grants in a new way, to focus on long-term financial strength.

Preliminary findings from this year’s Marketing General Membership Benchmarking Report indicate that membership growth is holding its own amid a whirl of challenging external forces. And there’s good generational news too. Whenever I talk to someone in association membership, I always like to ask, “What’s keeping you up at night?”.

I was working with a client recently and discussing how data is currently managed in their organization. During the course of the conversation, my client said “Too often here, data is an afterthought.”. What he meant was that very often, programs, products, or services would be developed by one part of the organization or another, and when the program was ready to launch, only then was the department responsible for managing the data consulted.
