December 29, 2009 Yes, do something!
So discussions on the big ideas that started on the ASAE web site have circled round and now the theme is just do something! Both Jamie Notter and Elizabeth Engel (and others!) have said it very well and now it is time to see if there will be some action from these great discussions.
We may not all be the boss – I bet most of us are not – but we can all do something to move our association into being better, even if it is a tiny movement, it is movement. It can be something as small (but important) as taking extra time when that member calls to make sure that his or her question is answered right away without passing them on to someone else, if you have that knowledge.
I like the ideas of starting from scratch when brainstorming – how about for the next few months when we start to do something, we go in with the belief, that we will do our best to do it different – to look at our project, whether it be a publicity piece for that conference or a different and new thank you note for that donor (admit it, you’ve been using at least a version of the same one for years!).
I, like Elizabeth, am challenging myself and the association community to ask ourselves, every day:
What can I DO TODAY to make myself, my job, my association, and/or life for our members better than it was yesterday?
Just my voice.
