Tuesday, March 20, 2012 – Could your organization use more volunteers? Does everyone who seems interested in what your organization is doing tell you they don’t have time to help?

Tuesday, June 26, 2012 – Led by nationally known architect of ideas Jeffrey Cufaude, "Refreshing Your Competitive Advantage: Innovating For Increased Value" is a special program that will explore the trends and forces that should most influence association work; consider the key member needs and aspirations you should optimize your solutions to; examine incremental and exponential innovations for increasing member value; and use design thinking to refresh your competitive advantage for core association functions including communications, member engagement and community, professional development, and volunteer involvement.
Team registrations are encouraged as this seminar includes a hands-on “lab” component where attendees can work with colleagues on a real program/service from their organization.
Whether your programs or services need a complete overhaul or just a little fine-tuning, this three-hour, deep-dive learning experience can help.
