The county bought them suits, so they wouldn’t have to undergo trial in their prison jumpsuits. Damien and Jason would be tried together, but first Jessie would be tried on his own.

Successful Associations TodayLet's Talk About GriefNo grief is insignificant. Grief is grief. Large losses leave us wondering how we’ll make it. But small losses add up, too. And continual small losses, such as what we’re experiencing as a result of COVID-19,have a cumulative impact. Don’t minimize any grief you feel. I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve shed tears over the last month. I’ve cried for people I don’t know who are dying alone. I’ve wept for the healthcare workers who care for them, often without the protective gear they need to keep themselves safe...2020-04-2904 min
Successful Associations TodayA Love Letter to AssociationsThis episode is a love letter to associations and the work they do on behalf of members on a daily basis. As I work with association professionals who are making tough decisions and pivoting daily, what I see is that members are grateful for leadership and guidance. Once members look to you for advice and support in difficult times, they will look to you again. The result is that even as you navigate these rough waters internally, you have the opportunity to enhance your value proposition for your members externally. In addition to hearing about...2020-04-1505 min
Successful Associations TodayResilience Amid Unexpected CrisisI usually have a guest discussing something noteworthy his or her association is doing. Not this time. I’m recording today in the midst of the Corona Virus. “Community” is a word we often hear in connection to associations. Frankly, that’s what associations are. Communities of commonality—accountants, engineers, researchers, physicians, and chemical distributors. There’s a word we don’t hear as often, however, and I’ve always wondered why we don’t. The word is “resilient.” Since the beginning of associating, associations have helped their members weather economic storms, market changes, technological challenges, regulatory burdens and unexpected...2020-03-2506 min
Successful Associations TodayEd Wojcicki - Embracing Difficult ConversationsEd Wojcicki, Executive Director, Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and I talked about the counter-intuitive strategy of running toward difficult conversations rather than away from them, a concept his association has embraced in the face of the “Black Lives Matter” movement. Instead of refusing to talk, the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police has reached out to organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives.

Successful Associations TodayCathy Burns - Revenue Diversification [Part 2]Cathy Burns, CEO of the Produce Marketing Association joins me for a discussion about the process they are using to help diversify revenue. The PMA relies heavily on two big annual events, and while those continue to grow, what if something happened out of the blue to affect participation and attendance at those events? They wanted to be able to protect the association for the long-term, but also create other value that could generate revenue for the organization. The first step was a collaboration between the board, volunteer leaders and staff to brainstorm potential opportunities and ideas.2020-02-2623 min
Successful Associations TodayCathy Burns - What Are Your Association's Core Values? [Part 1]Cathy Burns, CEO of the Produce Marketing Association caught my attention when I heard that Courage was one of the organization's core values. We don't typically hear values discussed within the association space, and I certainly haven't heard courage being identified as one, so my ears perked up right away. In this episode Cathy shares the genesis of the PMA's core values and how they are impacting every part of the organization. Leadership requires not only doing brave things, it means speaking the unspeakable sometimes. By identifying courage as a value PMA has given staff and volunteer...2020-02-1227 min

Successful Associations TodayJeff Hurt - How Pageantry Hurts Association MeetingsWhere is society moving that you and your members need to move? It’s a powerful question and one that your leaders should be asking regularly. Though members may not like what they hear, part of your value to them is inviting (and sometimes forcing) them to be flexible and mobile and to help them navigate a changing environment. Navigating change is what Jeff Hurt, EVP of Education and Engagement at Velvet Chainsaw Consulting, helps clients do. Jeff advocates for transformation in association meetings, noting, “people are tired of pageantry, performance and production.” Instead they are looking for co...2019-11-1308 min

Successful Associations TodayBill Zepp - Succession Advice for Association ProfessionalsIt’s happening: thousands of Baby Boomers are retiring each day, creating a multitude of opportunities in senior leadership in associations all over the country. Do you have a succession plan in place? Operating without one is irresponsible. If you’re a senior leader and there’s no plan, put it at the top of your “To Do” list today. It’s more comfortable for staff and volunteers if you’re the one to bring up the topic. I interviewed Bill Zepp, CAE, retired association executive, regarding his advice on succession. Bill headed three different organizations...2019-07-1009 min

For decades the association had 17 different dues categories.

They formed a member task force to review the model and did plenty of market research. After getting member input and crunching the numbers, the association's dues categories were simplified to a 3-tier subscription model to allow members a choice of plans that better met their needs.
