MemberShift Accelerator:
Strategic membership planning course January-June 2024
Sarah: “No, it doesn’t.”
Membership organizations are reporting higher levels of disengagement and decline than ever before. And if you ask Sarah, she will probably tell you it’s because your organization doesn’t actually have a membership strategy. And if it does, there’s a reason it isn’t yielding results.
After all, membership as an area of expertise doesn’t really exist. The topic remains largely unexplored and unknown.
Think about it. There is no formalized training or college degree or training in the field of membership. Rather, association leaders have borrowed from business models, learned by trial-and-error, stuck to traditions, and made assumptions about what drives membership engagement.
With the majority of associations globally now reporting increased levels of disengagement and decline, it’s safe to say the winging-it and more-of-the-same approaches aren’t working. Not at all.
But Sarah Sladek has become a subject matter expert on the topic of membership. She’s been researching membership trends for two decades to clearly understand what drives disengagement and fuels growth.
Via considerable research and experience working with associations globally, she has acquired the equivalent of a master’s degree in membership and she’s passing along many key insights in the MemberShift Accelerator.
Consider this your crash course in membership strategy – what’s working, what’s not, and why.
In this six-month virtual team coaching program, Sarah Sladek herself will guide course participants through the development of a customizable membership action plan.
