Session: Listen Up! Your Members Have Something to Tell You
If you are an association executive in Winnipeg, Calgary or Edomonto, Geoff and I are coming to see you!
We will be presenting in early April as part of CSAE's Association Excellence breakfast series. Our interactive session will focus on helping you to get your members involved in the strategic planning process:
Traditional organizations tend to operate like a triangle: A small number of company leaders sit at the top and make decisions which trickle down to the end users. Many not-for-profit organizations operate in a similar fashion, forgetting that in the 3rd sector, the members are the de facto owners of their associations.
This session will help you to turn that triangle upside-down by showing you how to involve your members in the decision-making process. Based on their work with over 60 not-for-profit associations across Canada and abroad, we will also share with you some of the common challenges and pitfalls associations face in the arena of member needs and satisfaction by examining best practices in areas that include member representation, member influence, ease of being heard, programs & services, and communication.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
