2:25 PM - 3:25 PM New Idea$: Not Your Grandma's Non-Dues Revenue
 Speaker: Teri Carden
While 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.
But 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 the fresh opportunities that will keep them digging in their pockets to support your association. There's untapped and unexpected value right at your fingertips. Join this session and we’ll share the po$$ibilities!
- Obtain a clear understanding of why organizations should keep reinventing non-dues revenue opportunities
- Articulate the business case and strategies for implementing the five non-dues revenue concepts
- Gain insights from organizations already earning revenue using these new concepts

3:35 PM - 4:35 PM Contracts and Negotiations in a Post COVID-19 World
 Speaker: Tyra Warner Hilliard, PhD, Esquire, CMP
COVID-19 is novel in more than just a medical sense. It calls into question all we know about the application of our force majeure clauses and our insurance policies. With the uncertainness of its ending point, it continues to affect future meetings, those that were postponed due to the initial onset of the pandemic as well as those booked in years to come. In this session, we will discuss how to look at force majeure clauses in the future in light of COVID-19, what to expect out of future negotiations, and insurance issues that are likely to arise.
- Analyze the force majeure clause in the context of COVID-19, and pandemics/epidemics in general
- Prepare to negotiate for new standards in a post-COVID-19 event setting
- Discuss issues regarding future pandemic and health issues with insurance coverage providers
4:35 PM Happy Hour Social

9:00 AM - 10:20 AM - 7 Deadly Sins of Email Marketing
 Speakers: Pete Zimek and Gjergj Ndoja
How many times have you heard a member complain, “I never get your emails”? You have the right email address, how could they possibly miss them? The answer is that they’re not being delivered. Email providers have a new definition of spam that likely now includes you. The drip marketing campaign that was all the rage in 2010 is now a one-way ticket to spam in 2020. Every day, associations across the United States unknowingly commit the 7 Deadly Sins of email. You don’t have to fall victim to these email ‘sins’ any longer. Join us for a can’t miss opportunity to re-think your communications strategy and better connect with your members.
- Bring awareness to email deliverability and why non-technical association staff should care.
- Impart the 7 deadly sins of sending emails in 2020 so that your messages avoid spam & reach your members.
- Discuss how email should be just a piece of an overall communications strategy.
10:40 AM - 11:40 AM What Safe Meetings Will Look Like When We Meet Again
 Speaker: Aaron Wolowiec, MSA, CAE, CMP, CLEA, CTA, CTF/MT
We all have questions as to how – and when – in-person meetings will resume. Maybe these are even some of your questions:
- Should we host a face-to-face event?
- How will our in-person education sessions and expos be different?
- What should we consider when planning meals and networking activities?
- Is there new or different data we should be collecting before, during or after our meetings?
- How should I handle offsite or outdoor events?
Learning and meetings strategist Aaron Wolowiec is here to help.
Aaron had the opportunity to serve on a coalition that addressed these specific issues and developed recommendations, templates and guidance for organizations to responsibly host meetings of 10 to 100 people. Dig in to these findings and get ready to see your members, face to face again soon.
