Don't Forget to Register for the June 20th Rountable
It's Not About the Napkins
Committees are the work engines of the association. They are responsible for fulfilling the mission and objectives defined by the Board of Directors. They move the association forward. Or, do they?
Sadly, committees are more inclined to haggle over the color of the napkins rather than plan for the next generation of members.
There are lots of reasons why short-sighted thinking trumps long-term planning, and ways to refocus your members. Bring your bad stories and best practices and we will discuss ways to keep your committees on track.
We learn from one another, so bring your best tips and tricks to this round table facilitated by Dana Saal, CAE, CMP, Saal Meeting Consulting.

How much of your association’s marketing material is designed for young professionals? Not can be used for, but is exclusively for?

Smooth the Path
Many long-time members start to consider their dues a donation to a good cause. Typically long-time members do not take their decision not to renew lightly, and this is good news for us. This is good news because it buys us some time to figure out how to re-engage them.

 Association executives are frustrated by boards characterized as the "lunch-bunch," a group that meets to hear reports, receive updates and enjoy friends. Symptoms of an underperforming board may be a lack of quorums, disengaged directors, ill-preparation for meetings, and little concern for impact. The phrase you hope never to hear from directors is, "But we are just volunteers." In reality, they are a team serving as trustees of the corporation.
