Power Luncheon: The Art of Membership

 1 Hour CAE

Why do some organizations grow and thrive while others do not? What causes an organization to experience a drop in membership? Although the demand for information, education and networking remains quite strong, what has changed is the criteria used to make purchasing decisions. Discover the nonnegotiable principles of membership that will help your own association flourish.

1. Understand the value before you start selling
2. Learn how strategic pricing helps you improve response rates
3. Attract the next generation of members to your organization

CEO/CAE Session: 5 Trends Associations Can't Ignore
10:00 am - 11:00 am

 1 Hour CAE

The biggest distinction between a trend and a fad is time. Fads fade whereas trends tend to solve problems or provide better solutions. Trends have the power to influence and change behavior. Organizations that ignore trends will just need to catch up later. From cord-cutting to the loyalty among Millennials and Generation Z, Sheri Jacobs, FASAE, CAE, author of the Art of Membership, will identify the 5 trends associations cannot ignore, raise questions you should be discussing with your staff and leadership and provide examples of solutions being adopted by some organizations.
