GSAE quarterly Luncheon - February 19, 2025

Building an Association Community
The power of “community” within an association is perhaps the most important—yet often intangible—membership benefit an association can offer. But how do you effectively build community within an association’s membership base? A thriving community is more than just a network; it serves as the foundation for trust, collaboration, and shared purpose. By fostering meaningful connections, we amplify engagement, unlock collective potential, and drive the impact that truly makes a difference. This session will explore the essential keys to creating this positive and transformational force.

Featured Speaker, Mike Pennington, CAE VP of Customer Experience Novi AMS
