We make association leaders think.
What a crazy couple months - but it was all worth it. Yesterday, Nov. 10 @ 2:32pm I was blessed with a baby girl. Victoria Rosalyne Wolfe was welcomed with open arms and instantly stole my heart. Mom and baby are both in great shape. I’ll post pics soon.
Thanks for…

Well I just got my brand new computer - faster processor, larger hard drive, more memory - good day! That was until I went to check my feeds for the day - that unfortunately went out with my old computer’s hard drive. This is the second time such travesty’s happened.…

Wiki’s are a great tool for collaboration. I’ve talked about them before here and here, but focusing on using them with my membership and how it’s worked out.
But maybe you shouldn’t use wikis for your membership or you just haven’t nailed down Why you should use it. Great - don’t…

It’s been over a month and I’m finally ready to go over some of my thoughts from Annual.
The first that I’ve been thinking of for a while was the response to the Generation Y sessions, particularly to Nadira Hira’s thought leader session. I was amazed at the reaction of non-Yers, mainly the…

As association professionals, we have a unique fork in the road when it comes to career development. We can select to walk down one of three paths:
Yet I’d be interested to hear how many managers sit down with their staff or (vice…

Lindy captured the conversation regarding SM burnout which included yours truly. I agree with Lindy (and commented on her post) that as association professionals, we should experiment non-stop internally. The problem comes when we jump on the bandwagon of the newest piece of tech and burnout our members who are not…

Matt Baehr put an awesome post up asking where we draw the line on social media.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately as well. I’ve been trying to stay up-to-date on everything social media yet I’m slowly sinking in it all and from Matt’s post, he seems to be experiencing…

I attend events, like ASAE’s Annual, in the hopes of getting new information so I can continue to innovate within our association and provide new and increased value to our membership. Yet, before I can impliment I must first catch up. I returned Tuesday to 2 weeks of back log…

Before social media I was the kid against the wall. Bet no one remembers me at Great Ideas two years ago (unless you were in my session). Why would you? I didn’t dance much at GI – I gave my speech, sat through some sessions and tried to network (which…

I’m so glad my session is early on in the conference, it allows me to get it over with and enjoy and relax for the rest of the event.
As I always seem to, I’m skipping the morning events to calm my nerves and do my final preparations. Though a recent…

To be honest, I’m usually incredibly nervous and generally get a feeling of awkwardness before attending an ASAE and the Center event. It’s probably because I’m not much of a networker. Odds are you may have seen me at a recent event sitting against the wall reading or typing away…

Now that I’m in marketing, I have to say that I’m pretty disappointed that I never clearly defined my niche within the blogoclump. I wrote on everything and anything - which some can pull it off - me I have trouble just keeping up with this blog. So I’m going…

For a while SWANA’s been dabbling in youtube and overall the response has been pretty good (at some point I’ll update the Social Media Wiki), but last week I knew it was starting to catch on. Our president, who shot one of our first youtube videos a year or so…
