No Tricks, Just Treats 🎃 For Halloween, let’s tackle some of the concerns HAUNTING associations in 2024 and 2025. Don’t be scared! Higher Logic and our mascot, Floyd, will help you face your fears head-on: 👻 Member Growth and Engagement: Transform this ghoul into a ghostbuster. Use data-driven insights to craft personalized member experiences, engaging members with content and events that truly matter to them. Attract new members with things like job boards, networking opportunities, and support and education for early-career professionals. 🧛 Revenue: Channel your inner Buffy and put a stake through the heart of budget worries by diversifying your income streams. Embrace non-dues revenue opportunities like virtual events, community and email ads, partnerships, and job boards. 🕸️ Time Management: Get out of the web of chaos with tools built to help you automate repetitive tasks so you can free up time to spend on high-touch priorities. Higher Logic Thrive comes with built-in features like Automation Rules, Gamification, AI Assistant, and more to help you get ahead of your to-do list. 👽 AI and Technology: AI and evolving technology don’t have to feel like an alien invasion. Stay ahead by adopting user-friendly platforms that do the work for you. With Higher Logic Thrive you can leverage AI and automation designed specifically for associations to help you enhance member experiences and operational efficiency without needing to be an expert.   🦉 Change: Don’t let evolving member expectations keep you up at night. Change doesn’t have to be a nightmare. At the end of the day, one thing will never change: putting your members at the heart of all you do. Prioritize ways to listen to what they need (like monitoring conversations in your online community), seek feedback (with polls and surveys), and be open to ideas that can help you streamline your work. Remember, it’s a lot easier to face our fears when we do it together! Check out some of our resources in the comments.

And to all of Higher Logic’s existing clients (many have already asked): Yes! You will get your own AI Assistant, very soon, powered by IBM watsonx, with all of your specific domain knowledge from your Higher Logic Community automatically included in it.
