Remember how exciting it was to take field trips as a kid? Escaping the daily classroom grind for something different and interesting? I am convinced that fields trips, or what I call Discovery Trips , are one of the more effective, but underutilized staff development opportunities around.

When I work with clients on selecting a new AMS, it’s not uncommon for me to hear some variation of the following question: “Can’t you just tell us which AMS is the best one?” I’ll often hear something along these lines, too: “I think I could design the perfect AMS that every association would use.

In a lawsuit filed this week, the association says the rules penalize workers who do not wish to disclose their medical information.

An excess of milk is creating an imbalance in the supply and demand for dairy, not to mention a drop in revenue for dairy farmers. The National Milk Producing Federation is hoping to start turning things around with some advocacy. “Got Milk?”. Dairy farmers do, but it seems that fewer consumers are wanting a milk mustache these days. In fact, dairy farmers dumped more than 43 million gallons of leftover milk in the first eight months of 2016, according to data from the U.S.

The Association of Big Ten Students’ Vote B1G campaign topped its goal in a voter registration drive this fall—twice. The association says that students have shown enthusiasm to vote this year, but that such interest should go beyond the top of the ticket.
