Your website reflects your organization. And, it’s your digital first impression. So, it’s important to view it as one of your greatest marketing assets. Ninety-four percent of people cite web design as the reason they mistrusted or rejected a website. An outdated and poorly structured site can cause your prospects to leave it, even before. The post Website design checklist to attract and engage association members appeared first on YourMembership.

I have to be honest here—I’m usually annoyed by economists. From my perspective, they tend to go overboard with logic and the notion that people are primarily driven by self-interest, because I think it strays just a little from the reality of being human. That being said, I was pleasantly surprised when an economist (and a big-wig at the Federal Reserve, no less) suggested that banks might need to pay more attention to their culture.

Wayfinding. It is the term used to describe the various ways that cities, buildings, parks, transit systems, and more help people find their way and avoid getting lost. I find that more successful organizations pay great attention to wayfinding. Doing so usually accelerates group progress and often increases the satisfaction of group members. During the early stages of every new group —a committee, a staff project team, a board, et al—a handful of basic wayfinding questions need to be answered.

Now I’ll be the first to admit I’m a little weird. I see everything, and I do mean everything thru the lens of mindfulness. Mindfulness as the practice of being present in the moment. And, after all isn’t that why we go to the movies in the first place. To let go of the world and be present, with a story that takes us out of our own for a while. This is why I go to the movies.

The National Bicycle Dealers Association is launching a new membership arm that aims to leverage the growing interest in mobile-only operators: repair teams that don’t have a physical store but do have a growing amount of interest. A rising interest in mobile bike repair services is leading a major association focused on the space to make room for them with a new member tier.

The weekly list of free educational events and resources for the association community… If you’re heading to ASAE Annual, keep an eye out for me and please let me know if you read Association Brain Food. I’m telling you, it will make my day, no exaggeration. When evening approaches and I’m still working on this (hello!) instead of starting dinner, I think back on those moments and persevere.
