Arthur C. Brooks, Ph.D.

Louis A. Bantle Professor of Business and Government Policy
The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and Whitman School of Management
Syracuse University

Association professionals have long suspected that the best and br ightest in the field are drawn to associations. And now there's proof. In Where the Winners Meet: Why Happier, More Successful People Gravitate Toward Associations,* Arthur Brooks concludes that individuals who are successful and satisfied with their professional lives gravitate toward association membership. The study researches the reasons members join and defines why they stay. Not surprisingly, the key is value.

What do your members value? How do you deliver value to them? Knowing the answers to these questions is vital if you want your association to be the place where winners meet!

All attendees will receive a copy of the study.

Brock will discuss his new book Charlatan, the riveting story of Dr. Morris Fishbein, of the American Medical Association and "Dr" John Brinkley, huckster extraondaire and one of the 20 th century's most br azen murderers. Dr. Fishbein dedicated his life to ending Brinkley's career and clearly demonstrates how one association - and one association professional - can change the world.

The first 100 attendees in the door for lunch will receive a copy of Charlatan.

2:45 to 3:00 p.m. Break

Martha Rogers, Ph.D.

Peppers and Rogers Group, a Division of Carlson Marketing Worldwide

In her new book, Rules to Break & Laws to Follow , Martha Rogers, with her co-author Don Peppers, examines the crisis of short-termism and its impact on value. The authors note in the first chapter: "Start with the simple and undeniable fact that every minute of every day, your company is going up or down in value….Your business creates or destroys value with every decision it makes, every action it takes, every customer contact or interaction it has."

Wrap up your Annual Meeting learning experience by learning the "rules to break and laws to follow" to continue to deliver value to your members while also ensuring long-term success.

All attendees will receive a copy of Rules to Break & Laws to Follow
