This week, I attended the ASAE Technology Exploration Conference, my first in-person event since January 2020. My MAIN takeaway was that it was very good to see friends and colleagues in the industry who, for the past two years, have appeared only as small rectangles on my computer screen. I also REALLY enjoyed presenting in person to other human beings who were in the same physical space as me.

by Frank Kenny. In any member-based organization, successful member onboarding is perhaps the single most important activity. It’s more important than marketing and more important than sales. Why? A poorly onboarded member is: more likely to drop. less likely to invest in non-dues revenue products. less likely to refer others to your organization. If you are looking to improve the health of your organization, start with your member onboarding process.

It took some time, but eventually, email protocols and etiquette developed independently of snail mail. Look at almost everything brought into the virtual world, and you’ll see humans initially interface with the digital version as if it were the analog version.

You know it’s time to rethink how your association uses reports when, month after month, you share a report with staff or volunteer leaders and all you hear is: “Hmm, interesting.” A report’s potential is wasted if it’s merely reviewed and forgotten. A report, in the right circumstances, should lead to insight and action—decisions, new tactics, new products or services, or changes in strategy.
