The weekly list of free educational events and resources for the association community…
Training programs. The training of frontline (public-facing) employees has traditionally been the purview of a company’s HR department or, as with alcohol service training, for example, outsourced to a for-profit specializing in that niche. WBT Systems has found, however, several examples of associations that offer frontline training programs for individuals and companies, and they think your association should get in on the game.
Order and change. Charlene Li believes you need order to create change—not what you picture when thinking about innovative organizations. She says, “Disruptive organizations create just enough order to allow change to happen smoothly. They do so by investing intentionally in a strong foundation—structure, policies, and rituals—that can weather change without crumbling or cracking.” Makes more sense now.
Member engagement. Anne McCarthy at Sidecar recaps a panel discussion at SURGE Forward about the new approaches to member engagement taken by associations during the pandemic. One invited early-career professionals to the table and actually acted upon their suggestion to use Slack as a networking platform. Other advice: do fewer things better and never go back to what it was—only move forward.
Digital networking. At the Velvet Chainsaw Consulting blog, Sarah Michel thinks they’ve cracked the code on digital networking. She describes the different tactics developed and practiced by Amanda Kaiser and Arianna Rehak during the 2021 Virtual Networking Incubator.
Office myth. Another example of wishful thinking disguised as conventional wisdom: Claire Cain Miller at the New York Times says there’s no evidence that chance meetings at the office boost innovation. File this one away in your “make a case for remote work” file.
Good eats
Skip down to the list of free webinars if you prefer takeout. If you’re a home cook, check out the irregularly published In The Kitchen posts on my Grabbing the Gusto blog.
- You can always count on a Molly Stevens recipe, so I’ve turned to her braised monkfish with cherry tomatoes and basil a few times. On this occasion, I made it with only one pound of almaco jack, subbed bacon for pancetta and added chopped red onion. Scrumptious. On the side, roasted baby potatoes with rosemary and garlic, and roasted broccoli with garlic, parmesan and lemon zest.
- I didn’t feel like going to the store one day. I had three varieties of summer squash from the CSA in the frig, and raided the cupboard, freezer and herb garden to make spaghetti with canned clams, Portuguese chourico, squash, onion, garlic, fresh corn, parsley, basil, oregano and hot red pepper flakes. Even though I’m Massachusetts born and raised, I’m not a snob about canned clams—they have their place. Would fresh clams be better? Of course, but canned do just fine in a pinch.
- A few years ago, on a visit to my aunt in Rhode Island, I was inspired by the bean salad she made, so I developed my own recipe with additional inspiration from Our State It’s been a Fourth of July tradition ever since—a tradition made even more meaningful because the Fourth is my aunt’s birthday. The only thing missing from my recipe is waxed beans because I’ve never seen them at the store or farmers market.
Here are the educational events scheduled for next week. If you have a free webinar or event coming up, please send me the link before Wednesday afternoon the week before it’s scheduled. I’ll be happy to feature it as long as it’s not too product centric.
