SUMMARY:Master Employee Onboarding with Thoughtful IT: Top 7 Tips
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nOne of the quickest ways to tarnish a new employee’s perception of your association is to throw them into a sloppy technology setup. \nAfter providing IT support to associations for 33 years we’ve become intimately familiar with employee on-boarding—and how technology will make or break the experience. As top talent becomes more and more difficult to attract and retain\, mastering this process becomes mission-critical. \nTo help give your new hires an overwhelmingly positive start to their tenure we’ve compiled the most important lessons we’ve learned from our experience. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nIT’s critical role in a positive on-boarding experience \nBest practices to maximize productivity\, engagement\, and security \nEquipment recommendations to empower hybrid and remote workers \n  \n\n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE! \n\n\n

Empowering change begins with understanding who your members are\, what they need\, and how they’re evolving in their careers and interests. Static data can no longer keep up with dynamic member needs. \nDiscover how to empower change within your organization by bringing your data to life. We’ll explore strategies to ensure your data evolves alongside your members\, remains accurate and relevant\, and works seamlessly across systems to meet members where they are. By harnessing the power of data\, you’ll be equipped to create impactful\, personalized experiences that drive meaningful engagement and long-term growth. \n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain how data empowers change and enables personalized member experiences.\nDevelop strategies to maintain dynamic\, relevant member data.\nAnalyze methods for integrating data across systems to support evolving member needs.\n\n\nSpeaker: Cameron Aubuchon from PropFuel \n\nSession 2: (11:15-12:15 PM) The Culture You Need in a Time of Disruptive Change \nCourse Description:  \nThere is no one “right” workplace culture for everyone\, but these days\, there are some specific elements of culture that have become more important than ever—because they help you deal with rapid and disruptive change. Whether its publishing business models being upended\, an unpredictable political landscape\, or the unknown impact of AI\, we are all dealing with change like never before\, but our cultures may be getting in the way. \nIn this practical session\, culture expert Jamie Notter will share research from his latest book that pinpoints the specific patterns inside most association cultures that need to be in place for you to manage change better\, including elements of collaboration\, innovation\, agility\, decision-making\, and difficult conversations. He’ll help you spot the damaging patterns inside your culture and give you concrete strategies for changing your culture quickly in ways that improve your ability to deal with change. \nLearning objectives: \n\nAnalyze patterns inside your culture that mess with success and slow down change.\nEvaluate and prioritize areas of culture change based on specific challenges they face\nDevelop strategies for rapid and thorough culture change\n\nSpeaker: Jamie Notter from Propel \n\nLunch (12:15-1:15 PM) \n\nSession 3: (1:15-2:15 PM) Disruptive Engagement: Redefining Member Value in the Digital Age \nCourse Description:  \nAs our world rapidly evolves\, so do concepts of membership\, challenging associations to rethink their value propositions. Social media and global technologies are drawing individuals into niche\, private groups\, reshaping expectations for community and engagement. This keynote explores the generational shifts influencing how members perceive the value of their time\, actions\, and data—and the rewards they expect in return. Join us to uncover what these changes mean for the future of associations and gain insights on how to adapt your strategies to align with these emerging member expectations. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify what members value most within your association\nEvaluate whether you are meeting member needs\nDevelop strategies to keep members engaged year-round\n\nSpeaker: Dan Stevens from WorkerBee.TV and Marcus Leite from WorkerBee.TV \n\nSession 4: (2:30-3:30 PM) The Human Element of AI: Making Technology Adoption Stick \nCourse Description:  \nAI is more than technology; it’s a transformative shift in how we work\, think\, and grow together as an organization. But here’s the truth: the challenges and opportunities that come with adopting AI aren’t unique to AI. They’re the same human factors we encounter with any major technology shift.\nSuccessful technology adoption—whether it’s AI\, a new CRM\, or a digital platform—requires more than picking the right tool and rolling it out. It’s about what happens next. How do you ensure your team continues to focus on the tool\, finds meaningful ways to use it\, and integrates it into their daily workflows? What are the barriers that keep teams from fully leveraging these tools\, and how can leaders help break them down? \nIn this session\, we’ll talk about how to navigate these challenges\, inspire curiosity\, and ensure your team feels supported every step of the way. You’ll hear real-world stories about what works (and what doesn’t) when helping teams integrate AI – or any new technology – into their daily lives. Together\, we’ll explore how leaders can make AI not just a passing trend but a lasting and meaningful part of their organization’s DNA. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn how to evaluate technology solutions\, communicate their value clearly to your team\, and roll them out in a way that builds trust and enthusiasm across your organization.\nDiscover how to avoid the “launch-it-and-forget-it” trap by creating a culture of continuous improvement\, where teams regularly revisit and refine how they use new tools like AI to meet evolving goals.\nIdentify common obstacles—such as resistance to change\, lack of training\, or unclear processes—and explore strategies for breaking down these barriers to help your team fully embrace new technologies.\n\nSpeaker: Joanna Pineda from Matrix \n\nPanel Discussion with the instructors: (3:45pm – 4:45pm)  \n \n\nOur sessions will be led by thought leaders and subject-matter experts who have made significant contributions to these domains. Prepare to be engaged\, informed\, and inspired as you interact with individuals who have mastered the art of Empowering Change. \n
