Addressing Member Preferences in Your Member Experience Artwork

The Joy of Membership Podcast

Most membership organizations -want- to be using best practices for membership growth and member care... but best practices are often easier said than done.There are practical realities that get in the way… too little time, not enough staff, a board that doesn't "get it", or even chapter leaders that go rogue.There’s no shortage of advice out there on best practices in membership. What WE need to talk about is how to actually make those things possible in the real world… how to be absolutely sure that growth practices are going to stick… how to make those things easier, more consistent, and even done automatically in many cases.So that’s what we talk about here, not just WHAT to do to grow membership, but HOW to actually make it all possible.If that sounds of interest, stick around. I'll be here most Tuesday mornings and welcome you to join me.

Addressing Member Preferences in Your Member Experience

August 30, 2022 • Joy Duling • Season 2 • Episode 98

Although your members share a common interest or passion, that doesn't mean they share the same brain. Every person is different, so making sure you address member preferences within your member experience will help your current (and future) members feel at home within your organization.

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.
