Meredith Low and I recently created a series of discussions titled Associations of the Future. The idea was that we know folks in the association sector might not have the bandwidth or the energy to look ahead right now, given all the demands on everyone’s time and resources.

Earlier in my career, I worked for a company that was the leader in the marketplace. Often when big questions or problems came up, there were no experts we could turn to. We were the industry experts. So, where did we go to get answers? There was an internal go-to process. The team leader would spend time defining the problem and goal. They would gather a team of the most curious minds.

As a marketer, I’m always on the hunt for new ideas. And I have my go-to sources to stay inspired — marketing blogs, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc. But every once in a while, the well runs dry, and I’m fresh out of ideas. Surely, that’s happened to you too. Frustrating, isn’t it? Well rather than just waiting for inspiration to strike (who knows how long that could take?

Was last week’s insurrection a line in the sand? Some associations spoke out strongly. Some, not as much. When rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, there was a swift response from many organizations – both domestic and international. But for one association, the response did not seem quick enough for its members. On Monday, the Spark Consulting blog posted a co-signed open letter to the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE).

2020 will be remembered for its social unrest, political conflict, and a pandemic, all of which significantly impacted our lives. Weddings were rescheduled, schools went virtual, and our contact with one another was limited by 6 feet of social distance. It certainly was a challenging year, but I believe there were some positive aspects too. Communities worked together to support their residents in unprecedented ways.

Low-quality data doesn’t offer this kind of insight, and in some cases, it can even make things harder.

As the COVID-19 vaccines begin to roll out (although not as fast as we’d like), we know there will be an end to the pandemic. But work from home (if we are lucky enough to have a job) will probably continue well into 2021. If we learned anything during 2020, work-life balance is much harder when working from home.
