Associations must adapt and evolve to avoid irrelevance. Society has changed in ways that make it much easier to form new communities that mimic what associations do for their members. Whether from for-profit businesses trying to create a member experience or online social networks, there is more competition than ever for the hearts and minds of our members. A panel of experienced association CEOs whose organizations have grown successfully over the past decade will discuss the critical changes and initiatives their organizations have implemented that have kept them from becoming irrelevant.
