Failing Fast, Hard and Often – Don’t make this a policy (Webinar)
You’ve heard that failure is the precursor to success. So more failure means more success, or does it? Associations are often afraid to take risks because failure can be very public and can reduce the credibility of the organization. But timidity doesn’t take us forward. Risk is necessary for forward movement. So how do we take risks and manage failure?

Non-Member Pricing – What’s the right price? (Webinar)
It’s a constant dilemma. We want non-members to attend our events so we don’t want to make it too expensive for them. But if we charge them little more than our members, then what’s the point of buying membership?

Consumer Culture Invasion (Webinar)
The new reality of membership is that our members are consumers. We must focus both the mindset and service delivery model of the association to serve a transaction-oriented consumer mentality while retaining the feeling of belonging that supports member engagement and retention.
Pundits tell us the membership model is dead. They also tell us that young professionals prefer to sit in a closet and text each other rather than interact face-to-face. Poppycock.
While it’s true the world has changed, as it always does, membership organizations continue to thrive in Canada and around the world. The successful membership organizations combine the attributes of a welcoming club of peers with a business-focused consumer service delivery model and mindset.
This webinar addresses the challenge and opportunity of attracting and retaining members in a consumer oriented culture.
