We are asking you to join us in DC March 9-10 to share with Congress the Power of A Message: associations impact our future, fuel the economy, enrich lives and keep us competitive.
Join us at American Associations Day to learn about the issues, meet association professionals from your state and around the country, and attend the ASAE Board Reception.

Great collaboration impacts how you provide relevance and value to your members. It is easy to say, "Our board is going to be collaborative and work better together this year." The hard part is defining what it is, what it looks like and how it's done. There is no magic in making this happen, but there is a lot of good work to build a collaborative mindset that is magical. Building the mindset in turn builds a great team, and a great team innovates through great collaboration. How do we get there?

While in 2010 27 percent of Americans had a smartphone, in 2015 that number shot up to 64 percent, making it that much easier to reach out to donors and members through texting. So you’re ready to launch a mobile marketing campaign for your nonprofit. But where do you begin?

For most nonprofits, meetings are the central function of the organization. What nonprofits often don't recognize, however, is that meetings are also a source of significant potential liability in the form of contract penalties, legal claims, and commitments that may go unfulfilled due to causes beyond the organization's control.
