Gayathri Kher said it best... "When you can't rely on a single version of the truth, every decision is undermined by doubt. This environment kills innovation." This is a why a sound data foundation - one grounded in transparency and consistency - is so important to the longevity of associations. And building that foundation starts with a few key decisions including: 1) Where does your data live? (And do you need multiple homes?) 2) Have you defined authority and storage for each data element? 3) Where should your reporting and analytics live? These clear decisions can go a long way toward strengthening confidence and fueling innovation in the long run.

To say 2025 was a year full of change might just be the understatement of the year... Between funding uncertainty, rising member expectations, and tech that's moving at absolutely mind-boggling speeds, it's a lot to handle. And with 2026 right around the corner 😱 it leaves us with the question... How do we get ready for what's next while we're still processing what's now? One thing's for sure - it's a lot easier when we work together. So pull up your seat at the future-planning table and join us on Dec 3rd for a candid conversation on culture, technology, and leading associations through the year ahead.

How did Noel Shatananda, Jeffrey Golembiewski, and Shawn Lai build an agent that solved the (arguably) worst part of volunteer management? They started where every project should... 👉 with the problem to be solved. Which, in this case, was "volunteer coordinators spend too much time scheduling and rescheduling volunteer shifts." But how did they define this problem? What makes it a good problem for an agent to solve? And where did the process take them next? Find out straight from the source 🚨 TOMORROW, Nov 18th, at 11 ET.

How do you know when Single Sign-On is working? No one mentions it. From your members' perspectives, great SSO is seamless, consistent, and predictable. It's almost invisible. But when you get it wrong... Boy, howdy do you hear about it 😥 Instead of goodwill, redirect loops, repeated MFA prompts, and inconsistent profiles build frustration and erode trust. Here's how to get to great 👉 https://hubs.la/Q03Tj_f60
