Association Essentials
Association Essentials is a foundational half-day workshop for staff who are new to working with associations or being part of an association staff team.
Better Onboarding Leads to Higher Performance
High-performing organizations depend on sound onboarding practices for both staff satisfaction and retention. Developing a foundational understanding of associations as well as their structure often leads to higher staff performance and satisfaction. However, these principles are rarely taught to association staff, leaving foundational learning to happen piecemeal during the course of weeks and months on the job.
