SUMMARY:W198: Association/Nonprofit Board of Directors: Governance\, Risk Management & Training
DESCRIPTION:GKG Law’s Rich Bar will be the instructor for a U.S. Transactions Corp. webinar on Sept 8\, 2021. Rich’s webinar\, Association/Nonprofit Board of Directors: Governance\, Risk Management & Training\, is targeted to CEOs\, COOs and CFOs.

As a CEO/COO/CFO\, what steps can be taken to avoid these potentially critical issues? \n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\n\n\nLearn how to better equip board members for success in their roles through training and communication.\nLearn how to educate volunteer board members to understand their fiduciary\, contractual and legal duties associated with their role\nUnderstand what steps can be taken as a C-Level executive to avoid potential critical issues around board governance.

SUMMARY:W204: 3 Ways to Mine Your AMS Data to Create & Execute a Profitable Member Engagement Strategy (with Minimal Staff Time)
DESCRIPTION:You’re probably sitting on a goldmine of data and don’t even realize it. In fact\, now more than ever\, associations are collecting mountains of data but don’t have a data strategy to actively drive member growth. \nMany times\, association leaders feel as though they’re drowning in information with no real way to leverage it to solve their most pressing questions. Instead\, they get bogged down with worries about the data itself\, effectively blocking them from using it to help them increase growth and member retention. \nAsk yourself: Have I had one of these questions in the past 6 months? \n\nIs the data I have useful or even reliable?\nHow do I go about getting the data out of our systems in the first place?\nWith all this data (or “lack of data”)\, how do I use it to make change for the better?\nHow can I offer better courses\, incentives\, or services to my members?\nWhy are my members leaving? How can I get more of them to renew their membership?\nWhere can I cut costs? What systems or services are wasting time and money?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\n\n\nLearn why your members are leaving and how to get them to renew their memberships\nLearn how to offer better courses\, incentives\, or services to your members\nLearn how you can cut costs and what systems or services are wasting time and money

SUMMARY:W200: Integration Platforms: A More Strategic Approach to Connecting Your Data
DESCRIPTION:Most associations are leveraging multiple systems to engage with members. But having multiple systems means that there are multiple data sources out there that are not connected. This leads to inaccurate data and frustration for customers who must repeatedly enter the same information to engage with associations. At the same time data integrations that directly tie one system to another can leave associations with a web of data that is not always consistent. Instead\, associations should be taking a more strategic approach to their data by evaluating if they need an integration platform to support their integrations and ensure they are set up for long term success. This session will introduce the concept of an integration platform\, discuss the pros and cons of implementing such a system\, and provide some steps to take if an integration platform is right for your organization. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\n\n\nLearn how having multiple systems means that there are multiple data sources out there not connected. This leads to inaccurate data and frustration for customers.\nLearn a more strategic approach to your data by evaluating if you need an integration platform to support your integrations and ensure they are set up for long term success.\nLearn the concept of an integration platform\, discussing the pros and cons of implementing such a system\, and some steps to take to decide if an integration platform is right for your organization.
