SUMMARY:Optimizing the Budget Building Process
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nWhat is so special about nonprofit organization budgets? Like all other types of corporate and business entities\, nonprofits must manage acquisition of funds and use of limited resources\, but with the added heavy responsibility that they exist to support the “public good” while being governed by volunteers. Consequently\, budgets serve an even greater role for nonprofit organizations. \nBudgets help nonprofits use (expend) limited financial resources in a manner that not only advances mission but also recognizes capacity constraints\, supports sustainability\, and promotes continuity.

SUMMARY:Maximize Your Investment and Post-event Potential - Turning Your Content Into Revenue Streams and Member Value
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nAssociations spend significant resources on annual events to engage members and generate non-dues revenue. Your events are a goldmine for content and sponsorship opportunities\, and by incorporating a digital strategy\, associations can maximize their investment. \nCreating content can be costly and time-consuming for associations. However\, neglecting to provide educational and inspirational content can be risky and lead to declining membership and dwindling revenue. \nWith proper planning\, including identifying early on what to capture\, your annual conference can fill your content calendar while generating non-dues revenue to fund your content throughout the year.\nThis approach enhances member benefits by providing valuable\, continuous content and extends access to non-attendees. \nThis also expands sponsorship opportunities\, offering industry partners richer options beyond simple brand awareness\, and provides them with metrics to accurately measure their success. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nRecognize content that provides exceptional member value.\nCompare and assess proven non-dues revenue models for their effectiveness before\, during\, and after your event. Design a content calendar filled with engaging content.\nDevelop strategies using content to create FOMO and increase annual attendance. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:How Open Access Will Affect Your Journal Strategy and Revenue
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nIn August 2022\, the White House issued a directive that all US taxpayer-funded research must be publicly available by December 31\, 2025.

What does this mean for organizations that generate non-dues revenue from their journals? \nLearn from experienced association executives who have journals where the research that is featured is publicly funded. Hear how their journal strategy is changing as a result of the White House directive and what models they are exploring to support researchers and to continue generating non-dues revenue from their journals. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nAnalyze the White House directive on open access\, including what it is\, who is affected\, how it impacts associations\, and the timeline for implementation. \nInvestigate the new business models associations are exploring for life post-open access. \nExamine the processes organizations use to develop new member benefits and generate non-dues revenue. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!
