HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE EXPRESSION, “THERE’S AN ASSOCIATION FOR EVERYTHING?”
That’s good news! It means that around the world, there are thousands of association professionals confronting the same problems, and offering individual insights on how to grow, adjust, adapt and innovate. These voices need to be brought together; there are people with visions and strategies, and there are others anxious to hear them.
YOU ARE INVITED TO SURGE 2017
We are proud to be sponsoring SURGE 2017, a free virtual summit hosted by AssociationSuccess.org. It will be assembling thousands of association professionals from around the world under one virtual roof, to have a productive and meaningful conversation around innovation and change. On November 7th-9th, participants will have exclusive access
to sessions centered on transformative, forward-thinking solutions to the challenges we all encounter.
Sessions will be played in a platform where attendees will be able to communicate with each other. The speakers will also be present to answer questions. Essentially, we're coming together to share our stories and gain as many collective insights as possible.
But the adventure into collaborative innovation begins long before the event. Immediately upon registration, you can connect with likeminded individuals in the forum, contribute to the idea box, participate by answering a session-related question, and absorb expert insights on the blog.
The aim of SURGE 2017 is to spark collaborative innovation. Click here for more information, and to register your place at the summit now!

Membership organizations have the ability to meet -- and even exceed -- the needs of members; often, however, they are based on historic governance and operational models. Membership organizations are a great approach to linking people with similar needs. These needs may change over time, though, which then requires organizational change.

Smooth the Path
This was not just a little pattern in the data or even an epiphany. There was one theme running so strongly through each member research project I could not ignore it. It was that members who engaged very early in their membership were more excited about the association than members who reported that “the association just grew on them.”

Higher Logic
Driven by a change in what members want and are willing to pay for, associations are seeing changes in their key revenue streams, including which income sources sustain their organizations. That could – and should – change your organization’s priorities.

Sometimes, due to lack of processes and knowledge transfer, the individuals who sit on the board of an organization – those same people who make critical decisions – may not be armed with enough information. That’s according to a new report by Heidrick & Struggles, conducted in partnership with George Mason University.

Association Success
Education comes in a wide variety of forms. As associations, we recognize the value of certifications as a mean of proving education, and often offer such programs to help members climb the expertise ladder of their industry and prove their worth to employers. This proof of skills and knowledge through certifications does not come cheap in time or money. However, in a climate where employees are expected to excel across various skill sets, a little-by-little approach is growing in popularity. Enter micro-credentialing.
