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.

dedicated his life to ending Brinkley's career and clearly demonstrates how one

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
