Remember how great it was when the cell phone went mainstream, and you could, for the most part, get ahold of anyone anywhere? Now with smartphones, there's a boom in ways to get ahold of people without needing to use your voice. Super convenient, if you're into that sort of thing...but what about your members? As always, when developing tools to best serve your organization, you should think of members first. How do your members want to communicate with you? Have you asked recently? Take a listen to today's episode to learn about some questions you can ask, and also how to meet members where they want to be, even if it seems out of your wheelhouse!

The Journey is my signature program to help membership organizations boost member attraction without getting bogged down by internal conversations, lost in tech, or overwhelmed by change. The end result? Faster joins, more enthusiastic engagement, and renewals that happen without hesitation.

But beyond industry experience and education…
Joy Duling is the calm voice you want to have in the room when you, your team, or your board is overwhelmed by ideas and options.
She's a trusted resource at the other end of an email or phone call who knows the answer, or can find the answer, when it's not clear what to do next in your approach.
She's a planner of systems and driver of progress that helps your organization achieve stretch goals.
She's a gifted facilitator of conversation, collaboration, and constructive growth.
And she's approachable and results-oriented, which makes it easy to shake loose of the old and start fresh on the new.
