In the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade , after multiple threats to his life and overcoming impossible obstacles, Indy meets the Grail Knight, keeper of the Holy Grail. He is surrounded by chalices and says to the hero: “Choose wisely, for while the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you.”. In a less dramatic sense, if you’ve worked for an association or membership organization, selecting membership management software can feel the same way.

Reid All About it
NOVEMBER 25, 2016
Thanksgiving is a good time to start a daily habit of gratitude. Research scientists have lots to say about the positive impact of a daily gratitude practice. With a little Googling, you’ll see dozens of articles about their findings, including some in Newsweek , Science of Us , and Headspace. Unlike other good habits, this one doesn’t take much effort, I can vouch for that.

DDoS – distributed denial of service. Even a few years ago that phrase was relatively obscure, known mostly to computer security experts, programmers, and those who were technically-minded. To the rest of us, it was just another acronym. Now, you may regularly hear about DDoS attacks and other cybersecurity threats over your morning cup of coffee. Even alarming stories about stolen logins, passwords, addresses, and credit card information have become commonplace.

Strategy-setting is useless without an implementation plan. One association leader shares how her board got smart about tactics. “And how will we implement it?”. That’s one of the more exasperating but essential questions a board can ask itself. A board can throw a lot of time and effort into creating a considered and forward-thinking strategic plan, but one reason the “plan that just sits on the shelf” is such a cliche isn’t so much because strategy discussions are insincere but because a tacti

"Because I said so." It's a line that I've used frequently with my children. Usually when their stubbornness butts heads with mine, I'm tired of arguing, and I simply want unquestioned obedience. I know I'm not the only parent who uses it and, truth be told, it can be a fairly effective strategy when dealing with an eight-year-old. But in the office, when dealing with my team members, I do everything I can to avoid it.

Tara Ericson, Naylor Association Solutions. When the going gets tough, advertising budgets tend to be one of the first things cut. Associations that publish advertiser-supported media may hesitate to continue asking for advertising dollars during an economic recession or crisis, but as Sir Martin Sorrell of WPP noted in 2009 , it often costs firms more in the long run to recover the resulting lost ground.

The Labor Department overtime rule, which would have significantly expanded the number of people eligible to receive overtime—and was strongly opposed by numerous trade groups—was blocked from taking effect by a federal judge, just days before it would have been implemented. One of the most controversial labor-related regulations in recent years— along with a top concern for ASAE members—has been put on ice, at least for now.

These domains have huge advantages in some contexts, but those who don’t pay attention could find their brands at risk online. A wide array of top-level domain names are most likely in the internet’s future—in no small part because there’s only so much room for domains to fit under the.com moniker.
