Description
During the pandemic, the relationships between associations and government has never been more critical. Members are relying on you to be their voice to leadership. Join this session to learn new techniques for making your association’s voice stand out from competing groups, even with in-person meetings and events off the table. Your members are counting on you to amplify their message.
Our agenda:
The first hour: High level framing of the issue. Learn what the data is saying and key concepts, including the shape of the current environment and the importance of this issue within it. Q & A discussion.
The second hour: A case study interview with special guest(s) who have successfully navigated this issue, with Q & A
The third hour: Now that you've done a deep-dive on the issue and heard examples of successful implementation, it's time to collaborate with your peers and plot your solutions. Participate in a break-out discussion around this topic in your organization. Hear what's working (or not!) for others. All solutions will be collected and shared with attendees after the event.
You can also expect several interactive polls, breaks for you to check on family/work, and the opportunity to connect with fellow attendees.
