Empowering Growth with Real Data

“For associations to make better decisions and fewer mistakes, they need to embrace the idea of collective intelligence.” Lior Zoref, a researcher and author of Mindsharing: The Art of Crowdsourcing Everything 

February 14^th, a day that is loved and loathed all over the world.    All one must do to prove this, is take a peek at one of their social media feeds and there will be a variety of posts negative and positive about this celebrated day.  Whether you are a Valentine’s fan or not, it serves as a good reminder to organizations of all types and sizes to take a look at the ways they are showing the love to their clients, members and employees throughout the year.  For associations, this is even more important because our purpose is to deliver for our members.  Members expect the association to know their needs and fulfill them with the same level of service they provide their clients.  But with a diverse membership base, how does the association management team know that ALL members are feeling the love?  

Recently we provided a webinar for clients about the business benefits of having an inclusive work environment. Kim Drumgo, Director of Diversity & Inclusion |
Association of International Certified Professional Accountants provided all attendees with a great understanding of today's Diversity & Inclusion landscape and how to set their association up for success in regards to Diversity & Inclusion.

Below you will find the recording and slide deck from the presentation. 

If you'd like to learn more about how to get your association started with a D&I Maturity Model, please contact us and we will be happy to assist your team with setting up questions and launching a platform for collecting the data.

Recently we were asked by a client why more associations don’t benchmark salary data for their members. As we approach our 10th anniversary serving the association industry as a benchmarking provider, we’ve learned that comparative industry data is one of the most highly beneficial tools that an association can supply its members, yet most associations don’t overcome three common stumbling blocks when attempting to implement their program.

Do you feel like you have more than enough time to do everything you need to do? Do you feel like you have just the right amount of time to do what you want to do? If you are shaking your head no, you feel like most busy professionals. Not only are we feeling stressed about our lack of time, our members are too. I know this because I’ve talked with over 400 association members about the challenges in their professional lives.
