🎙️ Convene Series: Michelle Mason on Rebuilding Association Value: Revenue Models, Retention, and “Conscious Inclusion”
Associations are under pressure to grow revenue, retain members, and stay relevant—often with fewer resources and more uncertainty. In this conversation, ASAE President & CEO Michelle Mason explains why the old business model is over and what’s working now: prioritizing retention, listening to the real “voice of the member,” reading behavioral data (not just surveys), and designing hybrid, distributed experiences that keep engagement alive year-round. She also shares ASAE’s “conscious inclusion” approach to DEI amid polarization, how to cultivate next-gen leaders without losing institutional wisdom, and why future-focused leadership means taking smart risks on behalf of your community.
