Welcome to Society Schmooze

This is Association World's main forum for you to exchange ideas and make contacts with your colleagues who work with other associations.

What Do You Think?
Following are some questions to which we we would like to hear your answers:

• What trends will have the greatest impact on associations over the next 10 years?
   

 What makes strategic planning fail? What can be done to make it more successful?
 

 What techniques have you found to be particularly successful for identifying individuals likely to be effective leaders? How do you get them involved in the organizations and help them acquire the skills they need to lead?

Future Schmooze

If we receive enough response, we will divide Society Schmooze into different breakout sessions or discussion groups, so that you can focus on the subjects of greatest interest to you.

What subjects do you think would warrant a separate discussion? What do you want to talk with other association leaders about? Let us know.
