association comments-o-matic

Great post Elizabeth. I want to echo the first time attendee thing. I had a co-worker attend for the first time. She specifically looked for first-time attendee things (since we do them at our show) but didn't find anything.

Elizabeth,

Great thoughts. I hope ASAE and more importantly associations of all sizes are listening and taking Maddie's and your posts as constructive criticism.

Frankly, I'm tired of major organizations associations and nonprofits that censor, delete, & shutout those who disagree. And I'm not talking about ASAE even, but they've certainly brought about that sort of criticism upon themselves as of late.

So I love, love, love Tumblr. The community features are neat, but what gets me is how light weight of a blogging platform it is. Plus with the super easy media integration, it still looks awesome with very little effort. There are somethings that I don't like, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives for sure.

Hi Tony,

Thank you for sharing this! Very refreshing to be reminded of what really matters in life. Just yesterday, my pastor spoke on how one act of love paid the debt for all our sins in order for us to choose a life forever indebted to the creator of our souls. How great it is to know Jesus

Hi Brian,
This is very timely. Last week I had three committee meetings and I think at least one of your reasons applied to each meeting! Alas, I don’t really remember leaving them all with a smile on my face…

When you said, “we will never truly understand the forces at play when a group of committed, passionate people get together,” I realized it was that lack of understanding that can not only be frustrating but unfufilling. After all, I’ve put in my time and energy expecting certain results. Thanks for offering the hope that we can build on the energy and assets of committee members and their talents, ideas and skills. Looking back, we actually did get quite a lot accomplished, the group members worked together well and the idea sharing was well done. I’m smiling now.

Sick and tired of obtaining low numbers of useless visitors to your site? Well i want to inform you of a fresh underground tactic which makes me personally $900 on a daily basis on 100% AUTOPILOT. I possibly could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you simply check their website out? There is really a excellent video that explains everything. So if your seriously interested in producing effortless money this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

Jeffery – Totally agree. Some sessions shouldn't be recorded because they don't lend themselves to be based on format. However, I also think you can invest in some wireless microphones and capture a lot of the good content too.

ASAE does ask if you want your session recorded. I'd be one of those people who might frustrate you Matt as I tend to not allow recording more than 30% of the session will be interactive or in group work.

Maybe I should rethink that, but I don't want people who pay for a recording to be upset that they get a lot of dead air from an interactive session.

I think the third is the catch-all: it just isn’t working for you for some reason and you could get more value by being elsewhere.

As long as people enter and exit courteously, it no longer phases me as a presenter. It’s nice if those arriving late can politely hang back for a few minutes and get the feel for what has been going on or give me a chance to connect them to the larger conversation.
