Members Connect Live Meeting
Member Connect
Welcome to Member Connect- an online gathering place for Association Members. Modeled after our First Friday art events that showcase a city’s artistic community and allow people a unique opportunity to interact with artists in a social atmosphere. Member Connect will focus on the breadth and depth of knowledge available to members through the association’s thought leaders and editors. A combination of live and recorded education and networking will allow members to connect with one another and engage with experts, live.
Benefits include:
- Builds and reinforces a sense of community among members. Also reinforces the importance of the association and the benefits of membership
- Live education and networking events allowing members to connect, engage and learn from each other and experts.
- Provides exhibitors and sponsors a tool to connect and engage with their target market.
- Reinforces the importance of association membership.
- Introduces a new revenue stream with good potential for growth.
- No drain on association resources as the workload can be handled by Ascend
- Aids in revenue generation in a year with predictably less revenue tied to meeting-related elements.
Member Connect Approaches:
- Multiple live panel discussions by channel on a bi-weekly schedule.
- Live/pre-recorded releases of guidelines, clinical topics, or special reports.
- Pre-recorded 10-minute sessions on education topics.
- Live or “chat” Q&A with speakers.
- 20-second videos submitted by authors to preview member magazines and journals.
- Readers submit microlearning content (short how-to’s).
