Another page from our new Impact Report and this week it is recognition. As an entrepreneur, common with many other founders, I don't need recognition, or think I don't, so haven't always been great at praising and recognising others. But recognising stars within our businesses is an important part of our business now and my daily communication with our team. We recognise excellence monthly at each of our sites with an Employee of the Month who receive £50 voucher and £50 to a charity of their choice. Then annually we have a number of awards for the team which are voted for by the people who work with them. But that is only the start. And more important is that we recognise and praise people as part of our working lives as leaders. Most don't do enough of this. How will you recognise and reward the people who you work with over the next few days? And how would you rate yourself on a score of 1-10 on how good you are at recognising excellence?

Component relations professionals and chapter leaders should be on the same team. So why does it often feel like we’re rowing in opposite directions when it comes to membership goals? https://loom.ly/r6Adj3w #associations #association #nonprofits #nonprofit #members #membership #assnprofs #assnchat #assntech #associationmanagement #component #componentoperations #chapters

This past weekend we got to celebrate the life of Seth Hufford on what would have been his 50th birthday. While I understand that LinkedIn may not be the typical platform for such a post, I felt compelled to share these reflections on Seth's life in a professional context. These are not just professional reflections but personal ones as well. From an equity/DEI perspective, Seth was one of the few white guys I knew who really worked to understand how he showed up in the world and how to use his privilege to support others. Seth was always willing to have difficult conversations with anyone and everyone. When he shared stories from his work, I always thought, I am glad you are the one to facilitate these learnings because I, for one, would not have the patience. The learning that I took from Seth that I want to share is that this (equity) work is never done; you can't just get a certificate in anti-bias principles and call it a day. The work is ongoing, and we must constantly reflect and question who we are and how we show up. The second reflection is the importance of inter-generational friendships. While Seth was 12 years older than me (I always reminded him), we were close friends, and it was great. This friendship started when I was in my early 20s and Seth in his mid-30s. Yes, we connected on professional things, and I was a big proponent of Seth starting his own business, but it was just friends supporting each other and wasn't a mentor/mentee thing (though I did learn a lot from Seth, and I miss him all the time). If you are moved by this post and want to contribute to the Seth Hufford Memorial Fund, you will be supporting some great causes. - https://lnkd.in/ejepYkBU

The challenge of membership and engagement is challenging all aspects of the nonprofit sector.
