SUMMARY:W346: Facilitation Tips and Tricks: The Art of Helping Others Engage
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nNew volunteer leadership and work environments have grown the need for conversations and meetings that focus as much on connection and listening as on the content presented. How do we engage each other better? The potential for connection exponentially increases when a meeting incorporates facilitation expertise in design and implementation. From the difference in the flow of a board meeting with a facilitator at the helm to how staff meetings in a hybrid environment still have space created for individual voices\, we address real-life situations. Walk away with an increased knowledge of the theory of facilitation\, a wider tool belt of approaches\, the personalized experience of application and feedback\, and emerge as a better facilitator. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn how to identify the nine competencies every facilitator should know and incorporate into the meetings they lead\nWalk away with an increased knowledge of the theory of facilitation\, a wider tool belt of approaches\nLearn the personalized experience of application and feedback\, and emerge as a better facilitator\n\n

SUMMARY:B137: What You are NOT Being Told About Credit Card Processing
DESCRIPTION:Credit card processing or Merchant Services is widely used by businesses and nonprofit organizations.  One can hardly image today going through life without being able to purchase goods and services without using a credit card.\n \nIn spite of its ubiquitousness in commerce\, there are a lot of things that organizations are not being told about credit card processing (aka Merchant Services).  If you know some important things that you are NOT being told today by your service provider (or in the general media)\, you would have greater opportunities for data security\, cost savings\, and process improvements (i.e.\, eliminating manual processes).\n \n\n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n \n\n\nLearn about 4 important payment trends which emerged from the pandemic.\nLearn two key changes you should make in 2022 with your payment and credit card collection practices.\nUnderstand Credit card fees — what you are NOT being told and why that is costing your organization money.\nLearn alternatives to credit card collections — the ecosystem that supports Visa/MasterCard and AMEX definitely don’t want you to know this.\nLearn PCI compliance and security issues for 2022 — why are you not aware of this.\nLearn how to do an RFP for Merchant Services — an outline that you can use today.

SUMMARY:W324: Think Outside the AMS
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nMember expectations continue to rise while association staff time is stretched thin. Join us for an interactive session exploring how to automate your digital ecosystem so that staff can deliver more member value in less time. \nNo matter how hard an AMS tries\, it can’t be all things to all people. That’s ok. With the explosion of cloud technology\, there have never been more options for organizations to streamline their operations while enhancing the member experience. The ASAE tech community calls this the “best in class” approach – finding software that fits your needs and integrating it in a seamless way with your AMS. \nThis session isn’t just for the techies… it’s designed to empower anyone who is thinking that “there must be a better way.” \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVE: \n\nLearn how to evaluate their organization’s approach to association software\, distinguishing between an “all in one” versus a “best in class” strategy\,\nLearn how to translate often intimidating technical terminology surrounding APIs and SSOs into real-world concepts that can be implemented in their organization\, and\nLearn how to evaluate association software options for their ability to streamline staff work and improve the overall experience for members.\n\n

SUMMARY:W342: Caveat Emptor: Becoming a Responsible Consumer of Research
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nAssociation execs consume – and produce – a lot of research in our day-to-day work\, but most of us don’t have formal training in research. A lot of the language of research programs– p-values and confidence intervals and margins of error – can be pretty jargony\, and some of the concepts behind what makes for good (or less good) research can be challenging for people who haven’t had the opportunity to take a graduate level methods course. \nHow can you be sure that the research you’re using or sponsoring is giving you the insight you need to make good decisions? How can you protect your association’s reputation as a trusted source of unbiased information for the profession or industry you serve? \nJoin Elizabeth Engel and Polly Karpowicz for a webinar based on their recently-released whitepaper\, where they will share a plain-language review of key concepts and approaches in consuming and sponsoring research so you don’t have to “beware” and can be confident that you’re setting yourself\, your association\, your members and other stakeholders\, and the people in the profession or industry your association serves up for success in making data-informed decisions that will allow you to achieve your most important goals and solve your most pressing problems. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nParticipants will develop a working knowledge of key concepts in defining research questions\, choosing data collection methods\, designing research instruments\, collecting data\, and interpreting and reporting results.\nParticipants will learn about the types of methodological bias that can creep into research projects and the steps they can take to ameliorate them.\nParticipants will hear case studies of associations running efficient\, effective research programs.\n\n

SUMMARY:W331: Five New Ideas: Not Your Grandma’s Non-Dues Revenue
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nWhile average associations get the biggest chunk of annual revenue from membership dues\, reliance on dues revenue is waning. According to the last ASAE’s Operating Ratio Report\, over the last 65 years\, the percentage of association revenue from dues has plummeted. To continue to effectively fund operations while holding dues increases at bay\, many organizations are focused on driving non-dues revenue. \nBut we can’t depend on our members to be satisfied with the same-old\, same-old concepts. At the same time\, millennials are taking over workplace buying decisions and have new expectations about engaging with the organizations they belong to. Plus\, your sponsors and advertisers demand fresh opportunities that will keep them digging in their pockets to support your association. There’s untapped and unexpected value right at your fingertips. Let’s dig in on the possibilities! \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nObtain a clear understanding of why organizations should keep reinventing non-dues revenue opportunities\nArticulate the business case and strategies for implementing the five non-dues revenue concepts\nGain insights from organizations already earning revenue using these new concepts

SUMMARY:Application Connection Tools: How to Use iPass Effectively
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nA new approach to connecting applications such as AMS platforms and fundraising tools\, an integration platform as a service—or iPaaS—could cut down on the need for customization while simplifying integration. Here’s why it’s trending among association IT pros.  \nIf your association has been leaning on custom integrations that feel costly and difficult to manage\, know that with a little digital glue\, you might be able to connect all your disparate apps—social networks\, email providers\, and online communities—together. \nThe concept is called iPaaS\, or integration platform as a service\, and it’s a growing trend that is finding new interest among associations. It simplifies integration among different types of tools by streamlining the connection of application programming interfaces (APIs)—essentially\, interfaces that allow different tools and their data to connect with one another—utilizing a low-code or no-code interface. \niPaaS could help solve a problem for associations: It could make a best-in-breed approach feel as tightly integrated as an all-in-one solution. And that could change associations’ relationship with their technology stacks significantly. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn best-in-breed approach for an all-in-one solution\nLearn a new approach to connecting applications such as AMS platforms and fundraising tools\nLearn how you can cut down on the need for customization while simplifying integration\nLearn to better understand potential opportunities to standardize how iPaaS tools are used by associations\n\n

SUMMARY:S204: The Attention Economy & How Associations Can Benefit From Integrated Media Plans
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nFor most of human history\, access to information was limited. 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? 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 and generate revenue for their organization. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nLearn how to grab the attention of your members in a world of decreasing attention span.\nLearn more about how media companies engage\, and how it can benefit your association.\nLearn how to change your mindset to always think boldly and evolve with your industry\, including members and vendors.

SUMMARY:S203: Your Members Are Individuals\, Not Just a Demographic
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nOften\, associations are quick to attribute changing membership numbers\, participation levels\, and overall engagement to generational and cultural characteristics. Have we missed the mark? Studies show that—more than generational and cultural differences—the beliefs\, values\, and behaviors of individuals are better indicators of association participation than the typical generational explanations. Join association thought leaders to explore how the unique characteristics of individual members factor into association membership\, find out what associations should be looking at to understand their members and prospects\, and how to incorporate the voices of all members to create a more representative organization.\n \n \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\n\n\nExplore how the unique characteristics of individual members factor into association membership.\nFind out what associations should be looking at to understand their members and prospects.\nDiscuss how to incorporate the voices of all members to create a more representative organization.\n\n
