    "Where Is The Value? Using High-Low to Leverage Win-Win Value for Your Org and Members" Presented by Dr. Michael Tatonetti

    Many times, associations continue programs without considering the components of each program - what is valuable to your audience; what can be sunset; what's working for your organization, what's not working for your organization? Rather than skating forward without consideration, there is a way to analyze what value levers should stay in your programming and which should not, no matter how much data you have to back it up.

    Join us as we discuss the four-part framework your association can walk through to confirm which value levers move your members, which do not, which are taking up too many organizational resources, and which are scalable so that you can efficiently deliver the right value at the right price.

    Learning Objectives:

    • Which data is good data to determine value levers in your programming
    • Which value levers are worth a higher price than others
    • Which value levers are draining your organization's resources

    "Navigating the Pitfalls of a Code of Ethics"
    Presented by Nisha G. Thakker, Esq.

    Association codes of ethics can hold your members to a higher standard in your profession. However, associations must consider all of the benefits and risks (both legal and reputational) associated with an enforceable member code of ethics. Hear real world examples of associations greatly bettering their profession or industry through a code of ethics, situations where a code of ethics caused significant risk to and problems for the association, and different ways to create and enforce a code of ethics. Come ready to ask your own questions!
