While the association community flies this weekend to St. Louis for the annual ASAE conference, I’ll be driving a few hours to spend a week with lots of family and friends at beautiful Ocean Isle Beach here in North Carolina. I’m sad about missing the opportunity to spend time with friends at ASAE, but I’m easily consoled by the thought of a coastal breeze, warm water and sand between my toes.

I am aware there is a lot to be said for the WIFM concept. The WIFM idea is very well established and will continue to have a place in discussions regarding the value proposition we offer to member-citizens in associations.

Given that I work for a mental health association, I have the right to use word “insanity” to describe the last couple of weeks. APA’s convention and ASAE’s annual meeting are back to back. Which means for the past few months or so, I’ve been preparing very different presentations for both, planning different outfits for both and just trying to maintain common sense throughout the process.

People have time and talents to share They volunteer whenever they care If you must turn them away Instead of “no” why not say We’ve love to engage you elsewhere Customer service training often stresses the value of saying yes to a customer's request even if the answer is no.

Several newer online giving sites are following the belief that if everyone gives a dollar you can make a lot of change. Vonate.org, TippingBucket.org, and LoveDrop.us are just 3 examples that approach this micro-donating concept in very different ways. Vonate.org. bills itself as the $1 Movement. Donors make a yearly contribution of $15, $3 goes to operating costs and the remaining 12 is divided up a dollar each month to the charity of your choice.

Then, once I knew Patrick (aka Mr. Maggie McGary) it was something he attended and I heard about through him. Once I joined ASAE three years ago and started connecting with other members via Twitter, it was something that sounded really fun and watching Patrick go while I followed the Twitter stream sucked.

I just read an interesting piece on the changes happening as enterprises try to figure out how to take advantage of social media. The article lists a number of different vendors who are working on social media platforms specifically aimed at businesses. At first blush, it might seem that these platforms might be well suited for associations too, but as I read through the article I realized that there are some aspects of associations that distinguish them from other businesses and more than likel
