As an association leader, you know the importance of engaging your members. How you communicate with members and the opportunities you offer directly impact their experience with your organization and the chance that they’ll renew. With a dedicated and comprehensive engagement strategy, your member retention rate is much more likely to increase! However, it’s likely that your more traditional engagements are on pause.

For many nonprofit organizations and NGOs, managing grants and monitoring projects with spreadsheets and manual processes feels familiar—but is it holding your organization back? As funding requirements become more complex and stakeholder expectations for transparency grow, relying on outdated methods can lead to inefficiencies, missed opportunities, and compliance risks.

In-person conferences were generally quite exclusive. Attendees had to have the money to travel, which often meant they worked for a well-resourced organization, and they were high enough in the organization structure to have access to the budget. Conferences sometimes excluded women with younger children because it is hard for them to travel. Sometimes young professionals don’t feel welcome.

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 Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.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

Members come to your organization with three distinct needs: for community, self-esteem, and opportunities to reach their full potential. Throughout the course of their membership, members will cycle through these needs, and search for any solutions your organization can offer. How do you keep them around?

Presenting online is nearly entirely different than the in-person experience. Event hosts tell me that their speaker’s presentations are falling flat, and speakers who have given their first online presentation feel their session could have gone better. Many associations did not train their speakers for in-person meetings, but given the steep virtual learning curve coupled with the need for presentations to be super engaging, speaker training may be just the thing.

Your first job as a nonprofit communicator, and your most important one, is to know who you are talking to, or writing for, at all times. Then you match what you say to the interests, needs, and values of those people. What you tell a board member about a project will be different than what you tell the foundation project officer funding it. What you tell your individual donors will be different from what you tell your clients (or whatever you call the people you serve).

It can create needless tension between managers and employees. At its worst, miscommunication can alienate an association’s members and the public. . Left unchecked, it can poison employees’ morale and cause associations to hemorrhage members. .
