SUMMARY:The AI Shift: ChatGPT Has Rewired Members’ Web Habits. Here’s How to Adapt.
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nMost association websites were built for a pre-AI era and are at serious risk of falling behind quickly. \nGenerative AI and tools like ChatGPT have introduced new habits: visitors expect to search with full-sentence questions\, they want concise summaries before committing to long pages\, and they assume each page will instantly suggest the next best action tailored to their needs \nWhen your association’s website falls short of these expectations\, the consequences include declining event registrations\, an uptick in “I can’t find it” phone calls\, and prospects choosing alternative online communities. \nThis webinar explains how these AI-driven behaviors are reshaping the fundamentals of web strategy for associations. \nWe will discuss practical adjustments that can be scheduled within typical budget and staffing limits\, along with a longer-term view of deeper AI integrations and the metrics that best demonstrate progress to leadership. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nDiscover what your association “superpower” is and why it’s even more useful in the post-AI world\n \nUnderstand why your members’ behavior is changing and what new capabilities will be needed for the next version of your website\n \nUnderstand how the digital world is fundamentally different post-AI and why your website’s member wall is critical for member value\n \n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:The Association Marketing Manifesto - Live\, Part 2: Numbers Don’t Lie: The 5 Marketing Metrics Every Association Leader Should Track (But Probably Doesn’t)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nPart 2 of a 3-part Series \nWhile many associations glance at membership counts and dues revenue periodically\, truly data-driven organizations dig deeper. This session explores five critical metrics—ARR\, MRR\, retention rate\, NPS\, and CAC—and how they can inform smarter marketing and membership decisions. Brianne will break down each one\, walk through how to calculate it (without a finance degree)\, and lead a conversation on how it ties to strategy and storytelling in the boardroom. Join us for this interactive session: the second in a three-part series\, The Association Marketing Manifesto – Live. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nCalculate and interpret five foundational marketing metrics for associations. \nRecognize how these metrics can support leadership decision-making and campaign planning. \nShift from lagging indicators (like annual membership reports) to real-time insights that drive change. \n  \nRegister for Part 3 here.  \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n

SUMMARY:We Didn’t Talk All Year\, But Wanna Renew?
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nIf you’re not consistently providing value\, a renewal notice is just a cold email. And yet\, that’s what many of us still do: cold emails\, postcards\, voicemail drops… Anything to get the transaction done. And the process is slow and laborious. \nWhat if you could get more renewals this year and get them in the door faster? Higher retention. Less effort. Stop thinking about the transaction\, and focus on the journey leading up to the transaction. You’ll walk away with a member-centric framework to boost retention and reimagine renewals as a natural outcome of ongoing\, meaningful engagement. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nExamine how associations are shifting from reminders to value. \nApply behavior-based signals\, simple questions\, and timely nudges to re-engage members well before their expiration date. \nIdentify simple\, scalable tactics to create personalized renewal journeys that feel conversational and relevant rather than transactional. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n

SUMMARY:Why Adversity Is the Key to Future Identity
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nIn this powerful and deeply personal keynote\, Magie takes the audience on a journey through the defining moments of her life—moments marked by hardship\, struggle\, and seemingly insurmountable adversity.

SUMMARY:From Hunches in Bunches to Data Driven Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nDo you ever find yourself sitting in a Dr Seuss book? “Its awfully awfully awful when you can’t make up your mind! Oh\, you get so many hunches that you don’t know ever quite if the right hunch is the wrong hunch? Then the wrong hunch might be right!” \nThe commitment to move away from hunches to data-driven is fueled by intentional data strategy\, data literacy\, and data hygiene… and it is everyone in the organization’s responsibility to contribute. \nIn this session we will: \n• Discuss the foundation of people\, process\, and technology. \n• Consider the impact of change management methodology as catalyst. \n• Define the different variables in the success formula: (data governance\, data literacy\, data hygiene\, data visualizations\, and others). \n• Evaluate the positives and pitfalls of starting with governance\, visualization\, and/or both. \n• Facilitate sharing amongst peers – excellent and not-as-excellent experiences. \n• Highlight different key roles\, including who is ‘accountable’ for success. \n• Assess with a four-pillar model: Collect\, Connect\, Protect\, and Respect. \n• Ensure an ecumenical approach across the organization\, collaborative across teams\, inclusive of different levels of experience and perspective\, and not “IT-only” or “Marketing-only”. \n• Recap participant insights and takeaways for the benefit of all. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nDescribe the metrics they are using (or will use) to determine success in their data-driven-decision initiatives. \nApply the four-pillar model (Collect\, Connect\, Protect\, and Respect) to evaluate their data-driven-decision initiatives. \nConstruct at least three actionable next-steps for their data-driven-decision initiatives. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

A key focus will be helping organizations distinguish between “must-have” and “nice-to-have” capabilities to guide a more strategic requirements gathering process. Finally\, we’ll address one of the most underestimated risks: data migration. You’ll walk away understanding how early planning and cleanup can avoid costly setbacks and ensure a smooth transition to your new ERP platform. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nIdentify the unique operational and reporting needs of associations and nonprofits that influence ERP requirements. \nEvaluate ERP vendors based on industry experience\, system flexibility\, and nonprofit-specific features. \nAnalyze components of total cost of ownership (TCO)\, including licensing\, implementation\, training\, and ongoing support. \nDistinguish between must-have vs. nice-to-have features in the requirements gathering process. \nExplain the risks of poor data migration planning and the importance of early data cleanup and preparation. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Navigating What’s Next: Preparing Associations for the Future of Change Management
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nAs the association and nonprofit sectors continue to evolve\, organizations must be prepared to manage change not as an occasional event\, but as an ongoing\, strategic capability. Shifts in member expectations\, advances in technology\, workforce dynamics\, and external pressures are redefining how associations must approach transformation. Change management is no longer a reactive process — it is a proactive\, organization-wide discipline that will determine the future success of mission-driven organizations. \nJoin Daniel Elacqua and Christopher Maynard from Strategico Consultants for an engaging and forward-thinking discussion on the path ahead for associations. Together\, they will examine emerging trends influencing change management\, share insights into building resilient\, adaptable organizations\, and discuss how leadership\, culture\, and governance must evolve to support sustainable change. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nDescribe the shifting dynamics that are making change management a strategic priority for associations and nonprofits. \nRecognize the core elements of a “change-ready” organizational culture. \nIdentify common pitfalls organizations face during change initiatives and discuss approaches to avoid them. \nExplore ways leadership and governance structures can better support sustainable change. \nGain awareness of practical tools and tactics that can support communication and engagement during change efforts. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!
