The Marriage of Meetings and Membership

Exploring the relationship between an organization’s meeting planners and its membership team to grow membership enrollment as well as attendance.

Presenters: Nicole Ratner & Dan Ratner, The Next Steps, LLC

Description

Meetings are at the heart of the membership value proposition while members are at the core of a successful meeting. Your annual meeting is a living portrayal of the purpose of the organization as members and other constituents come together to get closer to its mission. Learn how these two significant areas of associations work synergistically to drive organizational growth. This session will look at the four types of constituents, the In It ForEVER Principle (which focuses on the four major needs of members and attendees: experience, value, engagement, and relevance), strategies and techniques for collaboration between meetings and membership stakeholders, and ideas and activities to implement at meetings and conferences to support membership development.

Who should attend

  • Association Executives
  • Meeting planners
  • Membership professionals (those responsible for bringing in new members and keeping the ones you have. i.e., membership directors, membership managers, membership coordinators, and membership assistants.)
  • Membership engagement and retention professionals
  • Marketing directors and managers

Takeaways

  • A PDF copy of the presentation
  • Recording of the live presentation
