Join us for a dynamic deep-dive designed for association professionals who are ready to rethink how we connect with members. This collaborative session isn’t just about ideas—it’s about action. You'll engage with peers from diverse organizations to explore what’s working, what’s not, and what the future of engagement could look like. Together, we’ll experiment with fresh approaches, challenge assumptions, and co-create solutions that can be tested and adapted in real time.

Whether you're refining existing strategies or building new ones from the ground up, your insights will shape the conversation—and the outcomes. Be part of the innovation that moves our field forward as member engagement strategist Amanda Lea Kaiser takes us on a deep dive into the future of member engagement.

What is Think Tank?

The FSAE Foundation hosts a bi-annual Think Tank to contribute to the association management knowledge base. The meeting gathers a small group of association decision makers to contemplate an issue, concern, topic, or idea concerning the operation of associations and/or the association management profession. The group, with the assistance of our informed facilitator, draws conclusions and drafts a report to contribute to the association community.

FSAE Members in good standing, FSAE Board of Directors and Foundation Trustees are eligible to participate in this exciting event. The white papers below are the products of past Think Tank meetings.
