I’m going, to be honest with you, I had a hard Spring. The only way to get my work done and meet the new demands of remote-home school was to wake up at 4 AM and work long into the night. Aside from the long hours, there were a lot of stresses at that time. The stress of wondering how to stay safe. The stress of running out of food and not being able to find staples at the store.

I’ve pondered the precariousness of any election and the nervousness that all connected with that election feel. This thinking has also led me to revisit the hard truth that I’ve been living with for a long time: They really should have voted for me when I ran for s

While in-person training is a fantastic way to build community and transmit information to employees and members, they’re expensive and labor-intensive to produce. Throw in a global pandemic and in-person training becomes less ideal. That’s where an LMS, or learning management system, comes in. An LMS can significantly reduce costs while allowing organizations to create training courses and educational materials at scale. .

Many associations are pivoting their in-person conferences to virtual conferences. Many, but not all. Some associations are doing away with their conferences altogether. Perhaps they can’t afford to turn their revenue center into a cost center. Perhaps they don’t like the virtual conferences they’ve attended and don’t want to put on a similar event.

Not only do committee members assist with ideation, but they help with execution, often managing projects from start to finish. Talk about a blessing!

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.
