Uncertainty and anxiety are rampant and impacting our members’ jobs, their engagement in our organization and the way we think about membership. How can we best re-energize, motivate, and support our members? And minimize fatigue for industries that have been overwhelmed by the Covid-19 impact?

Focused on problem-solving with your peers, participants share strategies for addressing these issues and generate practical strategies to positively impact your members by reigniting their passion and re-engage their commitment – to their jobs and your organization.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn how to re-engage and impassion your association membership
  • Obtain tools for providing your membership with deeper meaning in their involvement
  • Learn techniques for battling burnout
  • Walk away with action steps for developing a usable plan for their association in 2021 & beyond

Associate Members Make it Happen…

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 Executive 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.
