A few ASAE calls for proposals have hit recently, and its gotten me thinking about conference sessions. On the one hand, associations want to recognize the expertise and knowledge our members hold and give them a platform to shine and a chance to share that knowledge and expertise with their peers.

Membership is perhaps the most sacred tenet in all of association orthodoxy. Indeed, for many organizations, the membership imperative defines the very existence of the association: membership is who they are and what they do. In a time of relentless societal transformation, however, the impact of forces beyond our control makes it necessary for us to question all of our most deep-seated beliefs, including our beliefs about membership.

As funding requirements become more complex and stakeholder expectations for transparency grow, relying on outdated methods can lead to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and compliance risks.

Jamie Notter recently recapped his notes from the MIX Mashup , an invitation-only conference on the future of work, or, to quote their website: "What will it take to make our organizations highly adaptable, endlessly inventive, truly inspiring, and genuinely accountable?" That's a critical question for all of us to address. Jamie also asked the blogging community to think about the points raised at the conference and to write response posts.

A friend of mine recently shared an article from the New Yorker with me. The article is titled, “How David Beats Goliath” and is a pre-cursor to Malcolm Gladwell’s next book. You guessed it – the book is about how underdog’s can succeed. The article was very interesting to me – partially because the examples used to prove his point were sports or history related.

Chanel suits are fashion iconography. A Chanel suit is the prototypical dream clothing acquisition : stylish, simple, elegant, and timeless. Assuming you can afford one, it will form the foundation of your entire wardrobe. It's a classic. The same should be true of your association's brand. It is the foundation of your marketing and communications wardrobe.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you know it’s mostly about leadership. Leadership is a tricky subject. There are many “experts” on leadership – some self appointed, others earned. No two philosophies on leadership are identical. Leadership is not a science – it’s an art. There can be many interpretations about what characteristics make great leaders, just as there can be many interpretations about what makes a particular piece of art, or an

At the risk of jumping the shark (and for those of us old enough to remember where that saying came from lets just try to forget the Fonz was involved in that debacle.) I cannot let this idea go even though July 4 is well behind us now.
