Every day, 10,000 Americans turn 65. Many associations operate with the assumption that they’ll lose these aging members to retirement. But don’t jump to that conclusion—older members may not be going anywhere anytime soon.

One-third said they have to because they need the money, and two-thirds want to work to stay mentally active.

Last week I wrote about an association with 60 staff but only six users. Today I want to talk about the flip side of that: those staff who are not necessarily users of the system, but consumers of the data. A great example of this is advocacy/government relations. In my experience, while the advocacy/GR department may be working on behalf of the members, very rarely, if ever, are they working with member data, other than a list of committee members and/or members interested or active in grassroo
