What’s driving member engagement in Associations today? Are there significant differences by geography, gender, or generation? 🌍 Last week, ESAE Managing Director Ioannis Pallas shared insights from the European Association community at #ASAE24, focusing on these very questions during a session on #MembershipEngagement. 🗣 "Young #Association members have a multitude of channels to learn, network, and advance their careers. If an organisation fails to engage them, they'll find alternatives. It’s crucial for Associations to involve them in content co-creation and offer meaningful roles as volunteer leaders." -Ioannis Pallas This session, led by Nikki Walker, highlighted the Association Engagement Index (AEI)—a tool developed by MCI to help Associations connect and engage with their members. Ioannis shared the stage with high-level speakers, Kevin Baliozian, MBA, CAE, and Stuart Johnston, offering a comprehensive view of the current landscape. 🔗 Want to dive deeper?

How can #Associations lead the way in building a diverse and inclusive world through #ESG? 🌍 Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance (ESG) presents a powerful opportunity for Associations to make a lasting impact on civil society. But the challenge often lies in figuring out where to start. At the IBTM World Association Leaders Forum last November, our expert panel shared key steps for Associations to overcome this challenge. Here’s what you need to do 👇 1️⃣ Commit your #leadership: Leadership must take the helm in developing ESG efforts and implementing a culture of responsibility across the organization. 2️⃣ Engage diverse stakeholders: Involve staff, industry partners, and a wide array of stakeholders to ensure a holistic approach to ESG. 3️⃣ Set clear #KPIs: Align KPIs with your organizational goals and continuously monitor progress to enable informed decisions and necessary adjustments. 4️⃣ Start small, scale up: Begin with manageable actions and progressively scale your efforts to meet your objectives. ➡️ Swipe through the carousel to discover more insights from Susan de Bièvre, Johann Lenhart, Idoia Rodes T., and Dianna Steinbach, MBA, CAE. ➡️ Click here to get involved in the next Association Leaders Forum: https://lnkd.in/e8XRJFHG

How can #Associations reconcile the need for in-person gatherings with the urgent call for sustainability? This is one of the topics we tackled during the IBTM World Association Leaders Forum last November. Key advice from our speakers included: 🚆 Prioritize local and regional #events, combine business and personal trips, favor trains or buses, and explore sustainable transport options at your destination. 🌟Promote and reward #sustainable travel initiatives among delegates. Consider vouchers for public transport and highlight the benefits of eco-friendly travel. 🌱 Address all aspects of event sustainability —from #travel and accommodation to food, waste, and energy. 🌱 💻 Offer online conference options and make event content accessible to reduce the need for travel. This year again, ESAE will be designing the programme of the Association Leaders Forum! Let's get together to share best practices and find answers to the challenges faced by #Associationprofessionals. We welcome input from Association professionals who want to contribute.
