How Generational Change Affects Association Membership

Thursday, November 9, 2017
4:45-6:00pm

The major reason people used to join associations was for information, which they can now find on the internet. Members joined to network and spend time with others like them, and now they do not have the time. People joined because their company paid their fees and travel and now many of them don’t. Any association is only as strong as its committee members and it has become difficult to get members to commit, especially with the ever-changing generational demographic. Join Mike Hourigan as he looks at all these issues and shares a few conventional and quite a few unconventional ways to attract new members, get them involved, and make them want to recruit for your association. 

Here are a few of the issues Mike will present in this high-energy, fact-filled and funny presentation: 

• Understanding what generational change does to a group 
• Understand how Gen Y members perceive the association in comparison to past generations 
• Turning perceptions to you advantage 
• What is your association’s value in the internet era 
• How to get members to do more than just join 
• Quickly understand what each generation wants from your association 
• How to get the Millennials to support the association to give it a fresh edge 
• Understand the different needs of each generation 
• Bridging the gap with generations to maximize member involvement 
• Looking at member involvement from a different angle

Millennials, Management & Me: How to Develop a Millennial Management Mindset

Friday, November 10, 2017
9:00-11:45am

Millennials are on the cusp of becoming first-time managers or advancing into middle management. In this capacity, they will be managing, working for and with three other generations in the course of their careers. Each generation brings their own set of values and a unique work ethic to the workplace. It is the confluence of these different ideas, values, and knowledge that will form the foundation for an exhilarating, sometimes exasperating, but nevertheless engaging work experience. The ability to translate expectations and values into a common language is what will make organizations thrive and outshine their competitors. Join Mike as he shares his ideas in this extremely exhilarating, hilariously exasperating and guaranteed engaging look at Millennials, Management and Me.

What is the big deal about millennials anyway?

• The financial reason 
• The management reason 
• The environmental reason 

Who are these Millennials? Who do they think they are? 

• Why all the concern about Gen Y? 
• Why is generational conflict any different that it has ever been? 
• Why do Millennials get such a bad rap? 

Mike will teach you: 

• How to move forward as an organization, association, or government entity 
• How to make Millennials part of the management team 
• How to give Gen Y’s what they need for direction 
• How to teach them the vital communication skills they are lacking 
• How to train Millennials how to be better managers 
• How to transform employees into world class leaders 
• How to cure Millennial ignorance
