How new membership models can help associations survive and thrive in today's evolving environment The era when associations could count on members joining and renewing, even with a relatively unchanging menu of membership benefits, has passed.

In The End of Membership As We Know It: Building the Fortune-Flipping, Must-Have Association of the Next Century, Sladek offers practical, proven ways that associations can respond to changes affecting participation such as the generational shifts in the workforce, social changes, and technology-eased access to content and community. The End of Membership As We Know It explains: How niche the new competitive advantage is Why organizational culture has an enormous impact on recruitment and retention What emerging member-prospects value and want Why and how to focus on member ROI instead of program ROI How to craft and deliver compelling benefits rather than features How to extend your reach Which emerging models are taking root and showing promise Providing numerous real-world examples along with specific guidance, The End of Membership As We Know It is a must-have guide for moving your membership model into the future.

She explores the effects of customers' assessments of self-service encounters experiences (attitudes) and transactional history (prior behavior) on their subsequent purchasing behavior and analyzes customers' decision of whether or not to repurchase from the same retailer and of how much money to spend.
Member engagement, recruitment, and retention are fundamental activities that all membership organizations must master to ensure the growth and viability of their organizations over the long term. The Art of Membership by Sheri Jacobs, CAE, provides associations and membership organizations with the practical tools they need to build a loyal and diverse membership base over the long term. Readers will be able to put the tools to work immediately regardless organization size, budget, culture, type, or environment. The recommendations are concrete, irrefutable and backed by data derived from ASAE research, the author's own more than 40 Market Research Studies conducted with her team encompassing members and nonmembers from organizations of all types and sizes and her more than 15 years of experience developing and executing membership recruitment and retention plans for more than 100 associations. The book contains ample cases and examples from associations, nonprofits and for-profits (pricing strategies, value propositions, and marketing tactics) in addition to chapter-by-chapter "how-to" guides with checklists and worksheets that break down the concepts from goal to strategy to tactics culminating in an actionable "to-do" list.
This book is for those who are already members of the Church as well as those who just got born-again, and want to become members of the Church. This is a must-read and I encourage every pastor to put a copy of this book in the hands of every new Christian coming to join the family. I have written specifically to help both new and old Christians understand what it means to be a member of the family of Christ.Just as we have with any other membership and loyalty programs, there are benefits for members of the church of Jesus. The difference here however, is that membership benefits for the church are of greater proportions and of eternal significance. As with many membership programs, there are of course requirements and expectations to be met. So also does the head of the Church have expectations of every member and has given us responsibilities that must be fulfilled in order to fully enjoy membership benefits. This book will help you understand these membership requirements and enjoy what is written in Psalms 36:8 that "they shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures".

Renowned journalist Nell Frizzell explores what happens when a woman begins to ask herself: should I have a baby? We have descriptors for many periods of life—adolescence, menopause, mid-life crisis, quarter-life crisis—but there is a period of profound change that many women face, often in their late twenties to early forties, that does not yet have a name. Nell Frizzell is calling this period of flux “the panic years,” and it is often characterized by a preoccupation with one major question: should I have a baby? And from there—do I want a baby? With whom should I have a baby? How will I know when I’m ready? Decisions made during this period suddenly take on more weight, as questions of love, career, friendship, fertility, and family clash together while peers begin the process of coupling and breeding. But this very important process is rarely written or talked about beyond the clichés of the “ticking clock.” Enter Frizzell, our comforting guide, who uses personal stories from her own experiences in the panic years to illuminate the larger social and cultural trends, and gives voice to the uncertainty, confusion, and urgency that tends to characterize this time of life. Frizzell reminds us that we are not alone in this, and encourages us to share our experiences and those of the women around us—as she does with honesty and vulnerability in these pages. Raw and hilarious, The Panic Years is an arm around the shoulder for every woman trying to navigate life’s big decisions against the backdrop of the mother of all questions.
Silver Award Winner -- Nonfiction Authors Association Book Awards Stress and our overloaded brains are two of the underlying causes creating conflict, tension, and drama in the workplace. They also result in poor decision making and less-than-optimal thinking by leaders at all levels of the workforce. Daily juggling of data, reports, email, meetings, decisions, and way too much information has leaders operating in "mind full" modes. This is not good. A more effective method is to make decisions in a mindful mode, a skill that can be learned. As a leader, the decisions you make and execute shape the lives of team members, colleagues, direct reports, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which you operate and live. Unfortunately, the majority of leaders are unaware of how stress, multitasking, and overtaxed brains trigger poor decisions, thinking, and outcomes. This book will help readers become more cognizant of when stress is triggering them toward poor decision making. It will also help leaders become more aware of the many benefits that mindfulness practices will bring to their decision-making and thinking capabilities. Key topics include: How stress leads to poor decision making The impact and benefits of mindfulness for leaders Steps for reducing stress Techniques for shifting into mindfulness at work and elsewhere Brain facts and myths Tips for improving brain health Mindfulness techniques that can be used at work and elsewhere Mindfulness meditation techniques that can be used at work and elsewhere Additionally, Better Decisions. Better Thinking. Better Outcomes. delves into some of the latest neuroscience research on the steps that all of us can take to protect our brains and manage the health of our brains well into our elderly years. Unfortunately, we are entering an era when increasing dementia, Alzheimer's disease and stroke are going to hit individuals, families, and society hard. Current estimates predict the United States will see a 60% increase in Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia by 2030 from today's already staggering levels. Fortunately, using the techniques and tips in this book, such an increase is preventable. But only if the right actions are taken now, by you, your family members, your work colleagues, and everyone else. By helping ourselves, and one another, take the proper steps to enhance brain health, we can reduce the financial costs to society - and the brutal emotional costs to families - of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. This book shares some of the new scientific research that shows how mindfulness, stress relief and management techniques, meditation, and better dietary habits could slow and even postpone the debilitating effects of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. You will also learn about new neuroscientific studies showing that neuroplasticity -- the ability to grow neuronal connectivity across the brain -- can continue well into our 70s. The techniques described in this book will help you make better decisions and improve your thinking prowess. They will also result in you becoming a less stressed and far healthier person. Those are four great outcomes that will benefit you immediately, and for years to come.
