Association Brain Food: 9.23.22

The weekly list of free educational events and resources for the association community…

Buckskin Gulch trail in southern Utah, one of the longest, coolest hikes I've ever done – inspiration for my weekly list of free educational events and resources for the association communityWorkplace trends. Please take 3-5 minutes to participate in the 2022 State of the Workplace Pulse Survey conducted by Achurch Consulting. Its goal is to create a snapshot of current remote and hybrid workplace trends, in particular workforce models (e.g., remote, in-office, or hybrid), office space, leaders’ greatest workplace concerns, and overall satisfaction and perceptions.

Education program development. When developing a new educational program, WBT Systems suggests using a learning strategy canvas because it helps staff, volunteer SMEs, committee members, and others stay aligned during planning discussions and reminds everyone involved where you’re going and how you will get there.

Return-to-office leadership/staff disconnect. If your workforce model is a touchy issue between leadership and staff, Achurch Consulting says you need to address this disconnect right away or it will erode your culture and cause employees to disengage or quit. They share a FACTS-based approach for discussing and resolving this issue—a framework for understanding priorities and values, many of which might have changed during the pandemic.

Membership formulas. If you’re new to membership, GrowthZone’s explainer on membership calculations will sure come in handy. No more struggling over retention, lifetime value, acquisition cost, or other need-to-know numbers.

Communities of practice. In a survey, members of the American Association of School Librarians said informal networking and learning was a high priority, so the association launched online Communities of Practice. Lisa Boylan at Associations Now describes how they work and why they’re effective.

Hiring lifelong learners. At Harvard Business Review, Marc Zao-Sanders says the capability and much of the value of a company is a function of the collective skills of its workforce, which is why you need to know how to identify lifelong learners when you’re hiring.

Employee screening. You don’t want to regret not doing your due diligence when hiring an employee. What if they end up behaving in ways that intimidate, insult, or discriminate against other employees? If you can’t afford to outsource this task, a new guide from Crimcheck for Associations shares how to do a proper, ethical, and fair social media screening on potential hires.

Good eats

Skip down to the list of free educational events if you prefer takeout.

Wow—that’s what we said after a spoonful of this poblano cream sauce. Instead of chicken, I poured this nectar over triggerfish fillets before baking them. I ended up with way too much sauce for one pound of fish but didn’t care. Instead of saving half the poblano for a garnish, I added it all to the blender and suggest you do the same.

On the side, a summer standard: zucchini and summer squash pesto with mushrooms, red bell, onion, jalapeño, broccoli stem, and parmesan.

Another green dinner with an “instead”… instead of making green lightning shrimp, I made it with bluefish. On the side, deluxe creamed greens, one of our favorites. My version this time included collards, chard (use the stems too), and arugula. I didn’t feel like buying milk just for this recipe so I compromised with half and half.
