Technology, economics, and demographics. Since the year 2000, associations have experienced a barrage of challenges that have weakened their position in the marketplace and forever altered their futures. The meaning of membership has shifted and now, more than ever, associations need to be able to prove that membership provides a return on investment to their members—especially its youngest members and prospects.

During this full day workshop, Sarah will present on the new membership mindset, which will introduce and define characteristics of the “new and next” generations: Millennials, and Generation Z. She will discuss what associations must do to stay relevant and engage their participation. Sarah will also conduct a spotlight on best practice, focusing on associations who have successfully launched a future-focused membership or marketing strategy and the results they observed.

Join us for this one day workshop to develop your own membership action plan so you come away ready to start expanding and future-proofing your association immediately!
