The web was buzzing last week with news that a small freebie magazine, Cooks Source, had allegedly committed a copyright violation by publishing a writer’s apple pie recipe and article without asking her permission. Edward Champion provided a synopsis of the entire incident and discovered quite a few other possible violations. The magazine’s dubious actions would have been bad enough, but the editor further inflamed the situation by her arrogant and clueless response to the original author.

Yesterday's Twitter chat for associations (#assnchat) focused on volunteer recognition and appreciation. It was encouraging to see all the great ideas participants had for this important topic, but somewhat discouraging to realize how few organizations seem to have a comprehensive, systematic approach to volunteer development. Answer me this: would any credible, successful HR professional manage paid staff the way volunteers are managed in your organization?

Yesterday I wrote about the Communication Shutdown campaign. I appreciate the efforts of those raising awareness and donations for the cause – autism – but I’m not convinced that shutting down communication was the best way to do it. However, it did get my attention and I learned more about autism, including the fact that its fund-raising success doesn’t match autism’s prevalence relative to other causes.

Associations can create thriving online communities too. GrowthZone’s eBook, "The Power of Community," breaks down exactly why a branded online community can be a game-changer for your association.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance. In today’s workplace, the true ROI of recognition lies in its ability to regenerate tangible, business-driven results.
