In my nearly 30 years in the association industry, I’ve repeatedly watched talented friends of both genders (but more often women) get stuck in their careers because a workplace is “family friendly.” The current organization offers good benefits or a flexible work schedule, so even though these talented and dedicated association professionals need to move on in order to advance in their careers, they can’t manage to leave.

Recently, I’ve noticed renewed attention to the role of non-collegiate post-secondary training in helping people find lucrative, productive, fulfilling work. The Washington Post has reported on the need for “millions” of apprentices in careers that don’t require four-year degrees and has called for the federal government to take action , which is a very good idea and which would have significant returns on a modest investment.

Member engagement sits at the core of everything an association does. No matter the staff-member, no matter the member benefit or event or email sent, each is a piece of the larger tapestry that is member engagement. While this is a generally accepted fact for any forward-thinking and plugged-in association leader, knowing what to do with this knowledge – or even what membership engagement really means – can be a nebulous task.

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.

30% of volunteers state that one of the main reasons they volunteer is because they have the time available to do so. Conversely, 49% of individuals state that their work commitments are their biggest obstacle to volunteering. Fortunately, some of your volunteers make time to volunteer with volunteer time off (VTO). VTO helps nonprofits earn more volunteers, meaning more hands available to run your programs, raise funds, and spread awareness of your cause.
