SUMMARY:Leadership Continuity in Associations: Preparing for the Next Generation of Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nLeadership transitions are inevitable — yet too often\, associations are caught off guard when executives\, board members\, or key staff step down. Without a plan\, transitions can disrupt momentum\, strain staff\, and erode member trust. This session explores practical strategies for leadership continuity that go beyond naming a successor. Participants will learn how to map vulnerabilities\, transfer institutional knowledge\, and develop team-based approaches that sustain long-term success. Drawing on best practices in governance and succession planning\, this webinar equips association leaders with the tools to ensure continuity\, stability\, and resilience through leadership change. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nIdentify risks and vulnerabilities in leadership continuity. \nDifferentiate between succession planning and leadership continuity. \nExplore strategies to transfer institutional knowledge effectively. \nDevelop practical approaches for building next-generation leadership capacity. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:How Much Should Nonprofits Hold In Reserve?
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nKeeping reserves for a “rainy day” is a good practice for all associations\, but how much should your organization set aside? A percentage of annual budget? Three-to-six months? The answer is: it depends. Every association is unique and can experience distinct unexpected circumstances that may affect its long-term financial health. \nThis engaging session focuses on how to conduct a risk assessment that will assist your association in quantifying financial risks and opportunities. Once completed\, this risk assessment aims to assist in finding the appropriate reserve level for your organization. \nWhether you are in the initial phases of creating your nest egg or re-evaluating longstanding reserve levels\, this session is for you. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nUnderstand how much the “typical” nonprofit and association holds in reserve through Raffa’s Study on Nonprofit Investing (SONI) \nAssess risks and opportunities for your organization to find the appropriate level of reserve. \nDevelop a reserve policy that documents your review and serves as valuable context for future stakeholders. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:AMS Selection in 2026: What’s Changed\, What Still Matters\, and What to Do Now
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nIf you’re looking at an AMS search in 2026\, you may already feel the familiar weight of remembering how difficult the last one was for you. \nThe long requirements spreadsheets.\nThe demo overload.\nToo many vendors.\nTons of jargon.\nCustomizations that seemed reasonable at the time\, but quietly created years of friction. \nThat experience still matters. But you’ll be happy to know things have changed for the better. \nThis webinar will show you what has positively shifted in AMS selection (and what hasn’t) so you can approach your next decision with clarity instead of dread. \nYes\, choosing an AMS is still a serious\, high-stakes decision\, but the process around it has evolved in meaningful ways. \nMarket dynamics have shifted. \nPlatforms have matured. \nPeer transparency is higher. \nModern evaluation tools now make it possible to reduce risk\, compress timelines\, and avoid many of the traps associations used to fall into. \nMost importantly\, we’ll focus on what to do now. How to start preparing for a 2026 AMS search in a way that’s grounded\, practical\, and far less overwhelming than it used to be. \nLooking forward to seeing you there. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nUnderstand what has genuinely changed in the AMS landscape and why it matters for 2026. \nRecognize which hard-earned lessons from past AMS searches still apply. \nEvaluate how modern tools and increased peer transparency can reduce risk and shorten the process. \nApply a clear\, practical approach to start preparing now and without the overwhelm. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:Don’t Let Your Fly-in Fly Away: Capturing the Power of Member Advocacy on Video
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:  \nEvery year\, associations invest enormous time and energy into Fly-Ins and Lobby Days—bringing members to Washington\, DC\, for two days of advocacy and training. Yet once the meetings end\, the passion\, stories\, and authentic voices that make these events powerful often vanish. This session will show how to transform that fleeting energy into an ongoing campaign that amplifies your message all year long. Using real-world examples from the National Alliance for Care at Home\, Start Early\, and the Alzheimer’s Association\, we’ll demonstrate how short\, authentic videos captured during Fly-Ins can humanize complex policy issues\, energize members\, and strengthen relationships with lawmakers. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \nIdentify key moments before\, during\, and after a Fly-In where video capture can enhance advocacy outcomes. \nBuild a year-round video ambassador program by engaging members during Fly-Ins and inviting them to create videos throughout the year. \nRepurpose Fly-In videos across multiple channels—from Hill follow-ups to year-round advocacy and membership campaigns. \n  \nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!
