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.

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 Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.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

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.

In 2011, an Ignite presentation inspired me to write: Everything in our environment is whispering: “Protect your ass. Guard your turf. Trust no one. Rock no boats. Prepare for the worst.” In other words: “Think small.” At the time, I called out the economy, social media, generational change, climate change, changing models of volunteerism (and willingness and ability to volunteer), and the shift from information scarcity to information abundance as the forces that were pushing association execs
