But in today’s digital age\, the only thing in short supply is the human attention span. Modern economics is driven by how well companies capture and retain the attention of the market. Known as the “Attention Economy\,” consumers are trading their attention as if it were a commodity. So\, how do associations take advantage to earn the attention of their industry and/or profession? By thinking like a media company. Just like Apple\, Netflix\, Disney and other major players capitalize on media consumption and distribution\, associations can also use them to grow engagement\, generate revenue\, and amplify their advantage in this new competitive landscape. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nReframe Business and Revenue Models for the Attention Economy: Participants will be able to reframe their business and revenue models to effectively compete with various organizations influencing the Attention Economy of their members\, prospective members\, and key stakeholders. \nDevelop and Implement 360 Sponsorship Models: Attendees will be able to develop and implement innovative 360 sponsorship models that utilize existing digital channels and incorporate emerging technologies like AI\, Augmented Reality\, Virtual Reality\, and the Metaverse. \nApply Media Company Strategies to Monetize Content and Brand: Participants will be able to apply media company strategies to consistently control and monetize content and branding across digital media channels\, creating new channels to optimize member engagement\, drive revenue\, and sustain organizational relevance in a competitive environment. \n  \n\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n\n\n  URL:https://usteducation.org/event/w494/ LOCATION:https://zoom.us/j/96693610445 CATEGORIES:ASSOCIATIONS & NONPROFITS ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://usteducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Brian24.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241023T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241023T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T174621 CREATED:20240828T221847Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241024T130936Z UID:10000613-1729681200-1729684800@usteducation.org SUMMARY:The Role of AI in Strategic Planning DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nIn much the same way that the internet revolutionized how we live and work in the 1990s and 2000s\, and that mobile technologies and cloud computing changed our ways of accessing and using information in the 2010s\, Artificial Intelligence represents a seismic disruption to how we lead our associations. There is a significant opportunity for associations to utilize AI to enhance their strategic planning – to improve performance and impact\, enhance innovation and agility\, and to save time and money – and to do so effectively and ethically. This immersive deep dive into the potential (and limitations) of AI will provide delegates with fresh insights into developing AI-human collaboration capability\, enabling association executives to think critically and use judgement whilst benefiting from all of the benefits of AI and machine learning. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nDescribe the Dynamics of the Attention Economy \nIdentify the Demands of the Modern Learner \nAnalyze and implement the Key Components of Microlearning \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n  URL:https://usteducation.org/event/the-role-of-ai-in-strategic-planning/ CATEGORIES:ASSOCIATIONS & NONPROFITS,Marketing/Member Engagement ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://usteducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/AndrewElisa24.png ORGANIZER;CN="Andrew Chamberlain":MAILTO:andrewchamberlain@you-elevated.com LOCATION:https://usteducation.org/event/the-role-of-ai-in-strategic-planning/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241024T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241024T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T174621 CREATED:20241009T162538Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241028T172739Z UID:10000635-1729767600-1729771200@usteducation.org SUMMARY:Is Your Website Meeting Member Needs?

The first year of serving as a Treasurer will set the stage and directly influence opportunities for engagement\, impact\, visibility\, quality of experience\, and advancement. Nonprofit organizations need to recognize that the first year of Treasurer service will go by quickly and to ensure success for both the organization and the Treasurer\, special emphasis must be placed on optimizing the front-end Treasurer experience and connections to senior management\, staff\, and the Board. \nTreasurers often step into their roles with few expectations and no established goals to guide them. This often leads to a start slow and missed opportunities for engagement\, which can result in negative impressions that are difficult to reverse.
