A great, fantastic read from our friends at Cuseum reporting out from the MGI 2023 Benchmarking report on Associations and how they continue to adapt and grow! A couple of points that stood out: ⭐ A strong and well-articulated value proposition can be a potent tool for attracting new members and retaining existing ones, whereas underestimating or failing to communicate this value can hinder growth opportunities. 🧡 ...while new member onboarding is the spark, deep-rooted engagement, enriched by consistent value delivery and innovation, is the flame that fuels member renewals, satisfaction, and ultimately loyalty.

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Account Executive at GrowthZone AMS! So excited to help Associations grow their membership and thrive! Forever grateful for my time at Blackbaud, where my colleagues and clients showed me every day that acting with integrity and working hard can change the world! As Knope would say - Find your team and get to work!

“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” – Laura Ingalls Wilder Spending time with my family outside, the smell of drying leaves and the feeling of soft wind, is my escape and refuge. I hope for you all that this holiday week brings joy, family, great food, and time outside. Happy Thanksgiving to All!

Happy #financefriday! When I talk to my finance teams we talk about so many great, built in features of solutions. But, as all offices, there are unique needs that surface along the way. That's where having a great partner program - like Blackbaud's fast growing partner network - can help! Today’s finance departments need foundational software that can grow as the organizational needs evolve. In addition to finding a vendor that truly understands the needs of your nonprofit organization, look for a system with a robust partner ecosystem so you can choose features with confidence.    In her latest blog post for Engage, Customer Success Manager Maya Dawley explains why choosing a vendor that offers a robust partner ecosystem can help you meet your ever-changing needs as a nonprofit, foundation, or school.
