The Art of Membership


MSAE’s Membership Networking Group met to discuss Sheri Jacobs’ book “The Art of Membership”. We had an insightful discussion on the value of social influence and the importance of engagement.

Top Takeaways:

1. Get rid of Early Bird deals. Price for events goes up every week.  
2. The Orange Bow Tie. Recognize the engaged and committed members at events with something special.
3. Continue to check in with your members. Remind your members to update their profiles, to tell you what they need and how they want to be communicated with.
4. Remind people what they can take advantage of. Always be promoting your free resources.

A new resource we recently came across is the Association Management page on reddit. Find a variety of articles on all things associations.  

Our next meeting will take place at MSAE’s Networking Group Day on January 27. The meeting to follow will be March 10.
