In-person and virtual events are the lifeblood of an organization. They are an opportunity to network, to learn from one another, and to enjoy being in the same place as people who share your interests, whether those interests are personal or professional. In the past, event management was a complex process involving handwritten sign-up and check-in sheets, email contacts, and laboriously managed databases.

Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment.

While the debate around the politics of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and social impact investing goes on, the fact remains that there is a yawning racial wealth gap in the United States. Estimates vary, but the median household net worth of white families is about seven times that of Black families and five times that of Latinx families. This concentration of wealth in smaller and smaller corners of the U.S. economy creates immediate and long-term economic and social challenges that

Employee engagement is the lowest in a decade. Hybrid arrangements are a lead culprit, but one association is well-equipped to address. According to a recent Gallup report, employee engagement in the United States is at an 11-year low. Time to panic? Not exactly.
