It’s 2014…Time for Resolutions!

2017-09-14T07:53:06+00:00

So, naturally, it MUST be time for a few New Year’s resolutions! I took a few best practices from our most successful clients and turned them into resolutions for you CE Directors out there that are looking for a way to make 2014 the best year ever. Drum roll… 1) I resolve to understand my members educational needs better and to deliver on them. You should be surveying your CE purchasers on an annual basis—and NOT as part of the general member survey. What keeps my members up at night when it comes to education and compliance? How can I help [...]

Must See Six: December

2016-04-20T20:56:03+00:00

Among our “must see” list this month is a bit of self-reflection. We discuss how to provide continuing education well to members, but what about for ourselves and our staffs? The last inclusion, “The Case for Professional Development in the Nonprofit Sector” reminds us that, as the expression goes, it is often the shoemaker’s children who go barefoot. I hope this edition of the Must See Six is informative and inspirational to you as 2013 winds down and 2014 charges ahead. The Future Is Now, Inc Magazine At my company, we frequently organize small group dinners to generate discussion about the [...]

Bundle up for the winter!

2017-09-14T07:53:06+00:00

I don’t frequent McDonald’s much anymore now that my kids have outgrown Happy Meals. But I happened to be in there yesterday (buying a gift card) and witnessed a befuddled youngster turn to mom in desperation after 5 menu questions (yes, 5) and say “why do I have to make so many decisions?” McDonald’s new Happy Meal format gives your toddler choices at entrée, sides (2 of them), drink and toy. This seems ludicrous to me. Adults can’t even order off the menu without pause (despite staring at for 5 minutes while standing in line), so why would you ask a [...]

The Online Continuing Education Maturity Curve

2017-09-14T07:53:06+00:00

This article originally appeared in the International Association of Continuing Education & Training newsletter. In the past decade, continuing education (CE) has experienced a distinct trend with respect to the stages of maturity CE providers go through to bring the benefit of online CE to their members and participants. Most member organizations started at the lowest level of maturity, which was to provide in-person events that allowed participants to earn CE credits. Though the CE was provided in-person (not online), some organizations utilized the Internet to take event registrations from their members — a small first step towards online CE. The [...]

What Healthcare.gov Teaches Us

2017-09-14T07:53:06+00:00

When I saw the recent post about Healthcare.gov on the Tagoras blog, I braced myself for an overly political article. I was pleasantly surprised though when instead I read a practical piece on the increasingly strong tie between service delivery, specifically for education, and technology. For many associations, successful delivery of continuing education is dependent upon reliable online resources. (Just like the success of the Affordable Healthcare Act is largely dependent on Healthcare.gov.) Since executive directors and CEOs are rightfully engaged in continuing education programs, they now also need to be engaged in the relevant technology decisions and conversations. Gone are [...]

A Free & Easy Member Benefit

2016-04-20T21:22:13+00:00

In addition to providing formal continuing education to your members, quick and easy recommendations on other professional resources can increase your value in their eyes. This can be as simple as linking to relevant news article in your newsletter and re-publishing it in your member publication (with permission of course). Go a step further by providing a reading list, book review or even hosting an online book club. Amazon founder and new owner of the Washington Post Jeff Bezos recently shared the three books he encourages his executives to read: The Effective Executive by Peter Drucker The Innovator's Solution by Clayton [...]

Selling Your Value

2017-09-14T07:53:06+00:00

Selling the value of your organization’s membership can sometimes be tricky. What are potential members looking for? What will retain them? What will keep them actively engaged? Earlier this month on Forbes.com, Patrick Hull gives professionals four reasons they should join trade and professional associations. Conversely, as one of the associations professionals are considering joining, it is your responsibility to highlight how you meet these needs. Excerpted from Hull’s article, here are the four benefits professionals should be looking to their associations to provide: Education: Associations offer a variety of educational opportunities from webinars to national/international conferences. I’ve found that the [...]

Ghosts, Goblins and 2014 Planning

2017-09-14T07:53:06+00:00

Ghosts, Goblins and 2014 Planning....which is scariest?   I’ll have to go with 2014 planning on this one, as ghosts and goblins are largely fictional, and everybody knows annual planning is a harsh reality. I have been constructing annual plans for a LONG time and it never gets any easier. The process improves, for sure, and the things you stumbled over last year usually go away, but there is always a new crop of obstacles that seem to pop up from one year to the next. They might include: A pesky competitor that didn’t exist last year, or at least wasn’t [...]
