As an association executive, my mission is to help the association become an Industry Influencer. One that will be seen as a leader by its current and soon-to-be members. One that delivers innovative, well-rounded programming that tackles industry trends and drives member engagement and retention.And here’s what I find… most associations need serious help. Serious help in driving member engagement and retention. Serious help in funding their programs. Where oh where are your sponsors and partners? And do we even need to talk about media? Yes, we do.So that’s what I do. I take it all on because that’s what we need to do to ensure your association is growing, financially sound, and creates an experience its members desire and genuinely want to be a part. When your members are “all in,” your association will prosper. But for them to be all in, your association needs to create that environment, continually attract the next generation of members and partners, and do it all with an amazing team.Essential skills and expertise:• Strategic Planning• Program & Content Development• Event Management• Budgets & Processes• Committee Liaison• Media Relations• Fundraising & Sponsorships• Key Performance Indexes (KPIs)• Nonprofit Communications• Volunteer Management• Marketing & Advertising Strategy• Marketing• Training Programs
