For associations to drive core objectives and sustained growth, it's essential they have active, engaged members ; however, due to extreme fluctuations in enrollment and renewals over the last few years, maintaining membership has been challenging.

Often as facilitators we create questions to get to a particular outcome, to the extent that it guides the conversation in a narrow direction. Being clear about our own agenda for a question - the ways in which all questions are loaded and are directly connected to our own worldview – is super important.

Enter membership cards. Membership cards are a little piece of digital or paper proof that a person is a member of your organization.

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 Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.

Nearly everyone who works in a non-profit or association has sat through a board meeting that went off-topic or ran over time. It usually isn’t a big deal if the board and staff present have the extra time. In fact, sometimes the off-topic conversations or additional time end up being the most productive part of the meeting. But board meetings that routinely go over time or off-topic could end up causing organizational problems.
