Do you ever feel like your team is stretched thin, projects compete for attention, or things just feel... disjointed?

This is common—especially in small to mid-size associations where everyone wears multiple hats. But you don't have to operate in silos or put out fires one at a time. There's a smarter way to manage your association.

About the Workshop

In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn a systems-based approach to association management—a practical framework that helps you see how people, processes, and priorities connect across your organization. Whether you're managing member services, communications, finance, or events, systems thinking helps you make decisions that support the whole organization—not just one piece of it.

Through real-world examples, small group activities, and expert insights, you’ll walk away with tools you can use right away to:

• Break down silos and improve communication between team members or departments
• Align your work with your organization's goals, even when time and resources are limited
• Fix recurring problems like slow decision-making, mixed messages to members, or duplication of effort
• Streamline operations without needing more staff or budget

This Workshop Will Help If...

• You’re constantly pulled in different directions and want a better way to prioritize
• Your team struggles to stay aligned on what’s most important
• You’re wearing multiple hats and need to make smarter decisions faster
• Your board or staff gets stuck in “reactive mode” instead of thinking long-term
• You want to create better collaboration—even if you’re the only full-time employee

Who Should Attend?

This session is designed for anyone responsible for making the most of limited time and resources.

• See how your role connects to the bigger picture
• Make confident, well-informed decisions
• Reduce friction between teams or projects
