Navigating New Waters

Our mission is to foster excellence in association volunteerism, leadership and member communities.

Engage Volunteers

The volunteer of yesterday is different than the one of today who will be different in the future. To be successful in engaging members as volunteers, we have to match our volunteer programs to our volunteers’ aspirations and interests.

Develop Leaders

Leaders are neither born nor made. More precisely the recipe includes a little of the right DNA, a choice made, and effective nurturing. Associations can have an impact on the latter two with great results.

Build Chapters

Chapters appear to have a powerful impact on association membership levels. Developing chapters as partners requires a chapter strategy that focuses on key metrics and provides meaningful support.

Grow Communities

Associations need not cede their place as home for professional community if we place member collaboration and engagement as a priority, seek new models and invest in developing volunteers to lead us.

Making Connections

We are an association management company supporting volunteer leaders. We are also a consulting resource for associations who want to explore deeper how to engage members, empower volunteers, and build member community.
