Non-dues revenue is a driving force for your association. It gives you the financial freedom to explore new technology and tools that help you evolve your communications strategy. Businesses that advertise and sponsor your communications rely on your association for innovative opportunities to reach their customers. You can help them reach their target audience and, at the same time, give your members the relevant education and information they need.
Speaker: Gareth Webb & Phil Selley, Founding Partners at Intouch Business
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?

I’m often asked by the communications directors I coach about the relationship they should have with their nonprofit’s board of directors. Should they attend meetings? What marketing metrics should go in a board report? If they get 10 minutes with the board at a meeting, how should they spend that time? Should they have a marketing and communications committee and, if yes, what would they do?

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 Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.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

It has been quite a year. As we emerge from the depths of the pandemic, we must remember that never in the history of the United States have we experienced an equitable recovery to a disaster or recession. Instead, such events have intensified race, health, and wealth disparities. As development professionals, many of us see signs of an inequitable recovery in our daily work.

Ironically, event professionals are an industry that is changing and an industry that never seems to change. Like many black swan events, there are often long-term changes to the way businesses operate and consumers act. According to a recent McKinsey and Company study, 90% of executives said they expect the fallout from COVID-19 to fundamentally change the way they do business over the next five years.

For well over a year, we’ve consulted with dozens of associations on their go/no-go event strategies. One of our early — and still applicable — recommendations was for conference organizers to communicate and publish the date when they expect to make the decision for their in-person conference. Over the summer and the fall of 2020, most organizations were able to make decisions six months out without incurring liability.

Today (March 24), is Equal Pay Day. Although it may sound like a holiday, it is not a day of celebration. Instead, it is a day to increase awareness that we are not all paid equally for our labor. Specifically, Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into the year a woman must work (on average) to receive the same wage that a man received the previous year—i.e., this year, women had to work almost three months into 2021 to make the same salary that their male counterparts took home in 2020.
