I also REALLY enjoyed presenting in person to other human beings who were in the same physical space as me.

The time is right for nonprofits to do more with learning tech! Nonprofit organizations seem to have accelerated their interest in eLearning tech as of late. Driving this need are several factors including reaching a remote workforce, growing demands for training, and changing regulations. The challenges nonprofits face are not dissimilar from for-profit companies, yet there are notable differences.

A lot of leaders spent the last few months putting in a place a plan to reopen the office (in one form or another) after Labor Day. This pesky Delta variant now has a lot of people second-guessing or changing their strategy, but in the end that might be a bit of a blessing in disguise, because it’s quite possible that your return to the workplace strategy was doomed to failure anyway.

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.

With over 800 million active users worldwide , it’s not a stretch to say TikTok has grown to be one of the most popular and influential social media platforms since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Usually known for its dance videos, funny lip-syncing and storytimes, TikTok has morphed into something that means so much more. From environmental issues and political activism to social justice movements, TikTok users are moving toward sharing and consuming information on important issues.

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.

I remember when email first became a thing. Software designers modeled templates on snail mail, and at first, users tended to type emails in the format of regular old letters. 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.
