Association Chat Flash Briefing for Tuesday, June 26, 2018 Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

Welcome to Association Chat News Flash Briefing - I'm KiKi L'Italien and here's what you need to know for Tuesday, June 26th, 2018!

Today, Tuesday, you can listen to 2 live Association Chat interviews back-to-back starting at 12:30 pm EDT!

The first interview is all about GDPR: It's been a month since The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect and what has happened since then? I'll ask members of the UK data privacy company The Trust Bridge about what's happened since GDPR went into effect and the questions we all need to be asking ourselves today. Which murky rules have been clarified and which remain shrouded in mystery? We'll find out today at 12:30 pm EDT.

After that, you can find out about a member engagement channel that too many associations aren't leveraging. In fact, this channel is more often referred to as baggage and I have three guests that will challenge you to explore this channel further today at 2 pm EDT!

Look for more information about how to register on associationchat.com!

That's it for today - Check back again soon for the next Association Chat Daily Briefing.

GDPR and Associations ...a Month Later

It's been a month since The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect and what has happened since then?

Have the questions around GDPR changed?
Are organizations more GDPR compliant today than they were on May 25th, when the EU's new rules on privacy and user data became enforceable?
What do association executives need to know?

We'll discuss that on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at 12:30 pm EDT for a special edition of Association Chat.

From a The Verge article earlier this year: But perhaps the GDPR requirement that has everyone tearing their hair out the most is the data subject access request. EU residents have the right to request access to review personal information gathered by companies. Those users — called "data subjects" in GDPR parlance — can ask for their information to be deleted, to be corrected if it's incorrect, and even get delivered to them in a portable form. But that data might be on five different servers and in god knows how many formats. (This is assuming the company even knows that the data exists in the first place.) A big part of becoming GDPR compliant is setting up internal infrastructures so that these requests can be responded to. No one's ready for GDPR. (2018). The Verge. Retrieved 20 June 2018, from https://www.theverge.com/2018/5/22/17378688/gdpr-general-data-protection-regulation-eu

Member Engagement or Old Baggage?

There's a member engagement channel that too many associations aren't leveraging. In fact, this channel is more often referred to as baggage. There are a number of associations who have turned the baggage into an asset. The baggage we're referring to? Hint: it is your components – call them chapters, affiliates, sections or any other name and the potential is member engagement, awareness, sales, and growth.

We'll share a few stories, plus research culled from a survey of association CEOs and association benchmarking study.

Guests:

Charlotte Muylaert, Billhighway

Peggy Hoffman, FASAE, CAE, Mariner Management

Dresden Farrand, MPA, MPP, CAE, Vice President of Chapter Development, Independent Electrical Contractors, Inc. (IEC)

From Hype to Help: The Future of Learning and Work Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

There should be no doubt that the future of learning and work will look vastly different than its present; the profound implications of accelerating technology adoption, an aging workforce, economic inequality and other factors will see to that. If associations are going to be influential contributors to shaping that future, however, their decision-makers will need to shift current thinking in fundamental ways, steer clear of counterproductive hype and focus on how their organizations can meaningfully help their current and future stakeholders thrive in this dynamic environment.

Association Chat News Daily Flash Briefing - June 8, 2018 Jun 08, 2018

Association Chat News Daily Flash Briefing

Some sad news this morning as we learned of Anthony Bourdain's death by an apparent suicide – Bourdain was a chef, author, and TV personality who also appeared years ago at an ASAE conference to talk about lessons about management from running a kitchen.

Bourdain's suicide may not be association news specifically, but it does impact us all.

There is an epidemic of suicide in the United States and Bourdain's death and fashion designer Kate Spade's unexpected suicide earlier this week has brought a focus to this situation in Americans' minds.

Why is this happening and what can we do about it? How can we identify the signals in others that they may be in danger? What can associations do to curb this problem?

There are a lot of questions to be sure. More than what this Flash Briefing can contend with.

Perhaps as we go through our day today we think on this and discuss it with each other online.

Or call each other.

Or actually meet with each other in person.

Maybe we do something instead of shaking our heads and moving along.

Maybe.

This wasn't the Flash Briefing I had in mind to post for today, but I had to share it.

I'll post another briefing later with more information about next week's events and some info on things that happened this week, including some excerpts from my interview with association contrarian Jeff De Cagna.

Please let me know if this news of suicide is getting to you too. Send me a message on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram @kikilitalien or email me kiki@amplifiedgrowth.net and let me know.

If you are thinking about suicide...if you or anyone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline @800273TALK (8255).

Association Chat Flash Briefing for June 6, 2018 Jun 06, 2018

Show notes

Here is the latest news in the association realm for Wednesday, June 6th, 2018!

Yesterday I interviewed Jeff de Cagna on Association Chat. The title for that show?

"From Hype to Help: Associations and the Future of Learning and Work."

Jeff talked about why leaders need to shift their thinking and avoid orthodoxy.

The reason we need to make this change?

Jeff De Cagna says association leaders need to lead their members and association staff in nurturing learning because new tech, like machine learning and AI, is transforming industries and society so that we need to become better at the human strengths we have...embracing creativity, ingenuity, and curiosity to move from incidental learning to intentional learning.

It was an amazing interview with a great thought leader in the association space and you can catch the edited podcast version of the Association Chat podcast!

Hope you are having a great week everyone and catch you later on the next Association Chat Flash Briefing!

This Week's Association Chat Flash Briefing for the week of May 21, 2018 – with all the links and extras mentioned in the micro-podcast!

Meetings Today Live! Midwest

I'm recording this from St. Louis, Missouri, where Meetings Today Live! Midwest is taking place and where I'll be presenting on Design Thinking for Better Engagement tomorrow.

This meeting is for meeting planners who are interested in finding out more about the ways to jazz up their meetings with suppliers meeting with them for one-on-ones, it provides a deep-dive into the location and its properties, and it also has a little bit of education and entertainment.

(I guess I fit into the education part!)

I'll be doing a collaboration with Meetings Today for Association Chat live Tuesday afternoon at 2 pm EDT, if you'd like to watch it as we interview meeting planners discussing hot topics in the event industry.

There's also another big meeting taking place this week...

ASAE's 2018 Marketing, Membership & Communications Conference (MMCC) - is taking place May 22-23rd in Washington , DC...this is an event for association professionals looking to improve their marketing, communication, and membership strategies and learn about technologies and trends to enhance their business. I've spoken at it and attended it in years past and I have to say, this one usually provides inspiration that keeps me running for the next year, so I can't wait to follow along on Twitter using their hashtag #MMCCon

By the way, you wanna get personal?

On Thursday the 24th, you can join a free webinar on "Personalization for Associations" explaining how personalization can increase engagement online for membership associations and nonprofits.
