NEW - Wednesday, July 10, 2019 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Top Trends Affecting Associations Workshop
Every organization faces challenges in 2019 – whether it be generating more revenue, finding the right people to do the work, or demonstrating value. From a national survey, we know the top ten trends (36 were identified) that are shaping the association landscape. In this session, Jack Shand of The Portage Group will provide an overview of these trends. Association executive members and business members will then discuss which trends are most relevant to them and share ideas to ensure the sustainability and long-term success of their organizations.
Why drive? Take the train and allow yourself some time to relax, read a book or do some work. You'll see many of your colleagues on the train. The Summer Summit schedule is working around the VIA Train schedule, so you will not miss a thing!!
The Summer Summit is the must attend event for association leaders looking for valuable education and networking in a relaxed atmosphere. It is an ideal learning opportunity for senior association and emerging leaders to strengthen and develop their leadership and management skills. The agenda is relevant to those who are looking for new ways of thinking and new ideas to sustain and grow their associations.
