On May 23, Destination Michigan hosted its annual Michigan Meetings Expo at the Bavarian Inn Lodge in Frankenmuth. This year, instead of a traditional keynote session, the opening general session comprised five different speakers – each delivering one of five top Michigan meetings trends in five minutes or less. Trend topics were solicited from local, state and national media outlets, as well as various social media channels, last year’s attendees and registrants of this year’s event.

For many nonprofit organizations and NGOs, managing grants and monitoring projects with spreadsheets and manual processes feels familiar—but is it holding your organization back? As funding requirements become more complex and stakeholder expectations for transparency grow, relying on outdated methods can lead to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and compliance risks.

Quiz time: How often do you try a new recipe? A different gas station or restaurant? An unfamiliar magazine or radio station? When’s the last time you talked with someone about an idea or project that flopped, or asked for constructive criticism? When did you last seek ideas from someone with a different perspective? Or collaborate with a colleague from another department?

Is that even a real word? Yes, it is, says Dictionary.com : truth·i·ness [troo-thee-nis] (noun): “the quality of seeming to be true according to one’s intuition, opinion, or perception without regard to logic, factual evidence, or the like: the growing trend of truthiness as opposed to truth.”. And Wikipedia says: “Truthiness is a quality characterizing a “truth” that a person claims to know intuitively “from the gut” or because it “feels right” without

Many people in leadership positions are also in management positions. As a result, these two concepts are sometimes mistakenly considered to be similar or even identical. They are not. Even the dictionary thinks they are similar. Management is defined as the act of directing, handling or controlling. While leadership is defined as guiding or directing a group.

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 Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.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.

Never. It’s a simple word that packs a remarkably powerful punch. And if you regularly use this word (or some iteration thereof) throughout the normal course of your workday, you could – potentially – be sabotaging both you and your colleagues without so much as a second thought. It’s time to stop and take notice. In its simplest form, the word never means: at no time, not at all, absolutely not, to no extent or degree.

As part of my ongoing series titled “Achieve More,” I’m profiling this month the role of collaboration in the development of dynamic, meaningful, and compelling education and networking experiences. Interestingly enough, collaboration is defined as the act or process of collaborating , as well as the product resulting from collaboration. A few years ago, the Michigan Society of Association Executives (MSAE) introduced a new award recognizing innovative collaboration.
