Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to appear on a virtual panel on engagement, organized by Mary Byers, for the Veterinary Medical Association. We covered a wide range of topics, a few of which I think others would benefit from thinking about, so I’ll be doing a few related blog posts. Of course, the pandemic was top of mind for everyone. As vaccination rates rise, people (including your members and other audiences) are cautiously poking their heads out of their pandemic hibernation, try

I have been a loyal and passionate disciple of networking for all of my adult life. I have spent decades learning, speaking and writing about it. Yet when our world was turned upside down last March, and all meaningful connection with everyone was forced into a digital world, I suddenly felt like I lost my footing and became very unstable. I learned a lot over the first nine months of the pandemic as I collaborated with clients to design and deliver high-value networking experiences in the digit

Long simmering and intricately intwined with our country’s history, equality, diversity and inclusion came back to the forefront in 2020 after the racially charged death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the subsequent protests that touched small towns and large cities. Racism and discrimination became discussion topics at home, in corporate and nonprofit boardrooms, in the sports world, and in our communities.

It is interesting to observe organizations’ attempts at creating a good user experience. After using a website or app a few times, maybe even a few minutes, the inevitable survey pops up. It might ask, “how satisfied are you?” or “would you recommend us to a friend?” When given an average or poor score, they nearly never ask why.

Our coworkers give us feedback when we complete a project or help them with a problem. Heck, our phones even give us feedback letting us know if – and how well -- we completed a digital chore or activity.

Kate Hudson was onto something. And not because she did the 60s style purple sunglasses and cream-colored boa right in the year 2000 Almost Famous film. Rather, in the same film, she coined the phrase, "It's all happening.". That's what comes to mind when I think of virtual event shift.

We intellectually know what is good for us. Brocolli is good; Twinkies are bad. Soda is bad; water is good. Walking is good; while laying in front of the TV eating Twinkies and drinking soda (and eating potato chips) is bad. However, eating broccoli and getting in our daily step goal is hard to do. Why is it we know what is good for us, but it is hard to do what is good for us?

That question is an ongoing conversation between associations and their chapters that is often complicated by differing state restrictions and the comfort levels of members regarding in-person events, leaving associations with no clear answers. To go fully in-person could alienate those that still feel uncomfortable while staying fully virtual risks further diminishing those vital personal connections that only face-to-face encounters can provide.
