DigitalNow: Association Leadership in the Digital Age

Are you IN³?

Imagine the world without your association.

Now ask yourself: Am I simply responding to the forces of change, or am I creating a future where my association is vital, relevant, and growing? 

• Have you asked yourself how long your members will need you?
• Have you looked at the data concerning your revenue, membership trends, and conference attendance? What does it tell you about how you will be making your money and what value you will be bringing to your members in three years... five years... ten years? 
• Do you have a viable plan to develop innovations?
• Can you effectively execute on those plans? One well-executed innovation outweighs 100 exciting ideas.   

At DigitalNow 2010, we’re going to roll up our sleeves and do the heavy lifting together. We’re going to answer the tough questions, we’re going to reframe our value propositions in light of our changed and changing world, and through “old school” loyalty and “new school” engagement, we will transform with the confidence and enthusiasm that come from having a solid plan built on the collective wisdom of the DigitalNow community.
