You’ll never truly understand the power of relationships in the association world without attending a conference. We all know that networking is crucial. But do we really get it? Do we truly understand the depth of connections we can forge? What if I told you that the most valuable asset in your association: isn’t your membership numbers Isn’t your budget OK! May be they are. But… It’s also your NETWORK. So, I’m heading to CSAE : Connect in Ottawa from Oct 29th to Nov 1st to dive deep into this world. I’m excited to connect with fellow association professionals, learn new strategies, and share insights from the past few months. What’s the one thing you’re most looking forward to at this year’s conference? #assnchat #assnprof #associations

Associations are under constant pressure to do more with less, to offer increasing value to members, while also create additional revenue. Yet the association business model is under assault: a tough economy has taken its toll on membership revenues, younger prospective members are “nibblers” not joiners, and convention revenues are no longer reliable. Join CSAE Griner Award recipient Randall Craig for a conversation and new thinking on association business models: 🤔 Is the traditional association business model really in jeopardy? Can it be rescued? (We also think so.) 🤔 Non-dues revenue beyond sponsorships, certification renewals, and trade show booth sales. 🤔 Is it really possible to compete against “free” alternatives, and win? In this session, we’ll delve into the answers to the above questions, and provide bold (and realistic) recommendations on them. We will also spend some time on membership retention and demonstrating member value, including: ✅ Building an aligned, growth-minded member community. ✅ Productivity and value: How to outsource draining ongoing responsibilities to free up staff and volunteer time for higher order priorities. 🗓️ Date: Wednesday, November 6 at 12 noon ET Register here (no cost to attend) 👉 https://lnkd.in/gD6VxVJP Please send your questions in advance to ronja@randallcraig.com and we will do our best to address them during the hour.
