SUMMARY:Putting Momentum Back in Your Membership Flywheel: Workflow Activation for Associations
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nMembership momentum tends to fade quietly\, and the challenges usually surfaces at renewal when it is hardest to recover. In this practical\, association-specific session\, Jim Thompson and Walt Rolle trace where the membership flywheel loses energy across the member journey and show why the cause usually runs through how the pieces connect\, so improving a single tactic rarely holds. You will learn how to pick one workflow to activate first\, whether onboarding\, renewal\, or event follow-up\, and how a clearly defined workflow sets up the right\, governed use of AI and automation on the AMS\, CRM\, and content systems you already own. You will walk away with a right-sized path you can start now and a simple checklist to run the first pass on your own. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nRecognize where membership momentum leaks across the member lifecycle\, from onboarding through renewal and stewardship.\n \nTell the difference between a single broken tactic and a system problem\, using a simple framework to locate the real friction.\n \nChoose one high-impact workflow to activate first\, applying clear criteria for value\, feasibility\, and readiness.\n \nApply a governed\, right-sized approach to AI and automation that works with the AMS\, CRM\, and content systems you already own.\n \nLeave with a practical checklist to run the first pass yourself\, without a large technology project or a new platform.\n \n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:Future-Proofing your Association: Creating Ethical AI Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nAI is transforming how associations deliver value—but few have clear policies to guide AI use. A recent study shows that while most executives are embracing AI\, only 13 percent have implemented an AI policy. Without guidance\, associations risk inconsistency\, data exposure\, and missteps. In this session\, you will learn how to write and sustain effective AI guidelines and leave with practical strategies for what to include—and what to avoid\, how to balance compliance with innovation\, and how to use AI responsibly across content and distribution channels. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nIdentify the essential components of an effective AI policy for associations\n \nDevelop an AI policy for your association\n \nDistinguise between which AI guidelines are nice to have\, and which are must haves\n \nUnderstand the difference between ethical v. legal perspectives\n \nAnalyze the risks and opportunities AI presents to association executives\n \n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n\n \n \n
