Before stagnation creeps in, it's important to recognize the signs of decline and take steps to inject new life into your community.

Did you ever happen to attend an early Tweet Up? Let’s use the Wayback Machine to travel back 16-ish years. At the national professional association where I worked, we had a small but active Twitter following. As the annual conference approached, we saw an appetite among the Twitter community to meet each other IRL. I asked the event crew if we could informally borrow an empty room to hold a Tweet Up (an in-person gathering of Twitter users).

Reducing your voluntary turnover rate by 3% can result in cost savings ranging from $135,000 (association with 50 employees) to $540,000 (association with 200 employees), and that’s not just once—that’s every year.
