As a Catalyst, Convener, and Champion for your members, leaders, and communities:

• • How do you sell membership when budgets are tight?
  • What are members’ expectations of your organization during recovery?
  • How can you help members thrive during the recovery?

Yes, it’s pretty grim out there. Everywhere you turn, there are media stories about business closures, layoffs, and the projected long haul to recover from COVID-19. Your members and the business community are experiencing a time unlike any other in history since the Great Depression. As business leaders, how can you help members and non-members navigate the storm and be positioned for success when the tide finally turns?

This is a defining time for associations and chambers of commerce. The Chinese symbol for Chaos is made from two words—Crisis and Opportunity.

Don’t let this crisis go to waste — explore opportunities to strengthen businesses in your community, grow your membership base, and communicate the value of your organization.

What are you doing to turn this crisis into an opportunity?
