What is Member Engagement?
Member engagement is the result of a
member investing time and/or money
with the association in exchange for value.
The more of these precious resources they
invest, the more engaged they are.
David Gammel, Executive DirectorEntomological Society of America

Challenges to Engagement Today
• Members having time to participate
• Getting to know members at a
deeper level
• Getting their attention and
communicating in an appropriate
way - on their terms
• Keeping member’s interest through
continuous engagement

Value is Different for Different Members

Value is Different for Different Members
They don't all want the same apple....
...in fact, they might not even want apples!

Membership Value
The End of Membership as We Know It: Building the Fortune-Flipping, Must-Have Association of the Next Century by Sarah L. Sladek, Published by ASAE (2011)
The number one reason individuals or companies join
an association is because they believe the association will help them solve a problem
![Page 11: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Define value:
– Members decide what has value
– Value is validated by a member’s willingness to exchange money or time for something
– Value is different for different members

How do members access value?

Your Organization's Many Resources
So the question is....
...How do we connect our members to all of the organization's resources?
in a way that creates value for them?

continuous proliferation of content
opportunities
reams of content

So where do we start?
![Page 18: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We need a common language!
One that both we and our
members can use...
![Page 19: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
We need a common language!
.... a language that can be used for classifying
our resources, and to describe our members
needs and interests!
We need a Taxonomy!
![Page 20: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is a Taxonomy?
A hierarchical classification or
categorization system…in
reference to any means of
organizing content.
Let's Keep it Simple
![Page 21: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The ASAE taxonomy has 7 branches (or facets)
Let's go see!

Don't Guess...KNOW!

How the Taxonomy is Used
Connecting
Members to
Content
![Page 25: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Rethink Content Strategy
1. You must have a taxonomy! It is the common language that's
used to categorize your resources and by which your members
indicate their interests/needs. The taxonomy must be present
in every digital system you have. Period!
![Page 26: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How the Taxonomy is Used
Refining search results on websites
![Page 27: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Or even better, don't make
them work so hard...how
about just sending them
what they say they are
interested in!

1. You must have a taxonomy! It is the common language that's
used to categorize your resources and by which your members
indicate their interests/needs. The taxonomy must be present
in every digital system you have. Period!
2. In the future, most organizations will have multiple websites or
other types of content repositories. Most likely they will have
multiple content management systems. You've got to find a
way to mitigate content silos!
![Page 30: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Solution?"Middleware"
Create a process that indexes content from all sites.
Content from anywhere becomes available everywhere!
While we're at it, rethink our search experience
![Page 31: Innovating Content: Rise of the Organization as Information Curator](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052700/55a5d23d1a28abba758b45f7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Let's go see!

3. It's not about search and find anymore, it's more about know
and deliver.

Don't just tag
traditional content,
tag everything!

Consider Connected Content
What’s it about?
Who wrote it?
When was it written?
What’s the source?
Connected Content
What if I land here and
it’s too complicated?
What if I land here and and I
need deeper information?
What if its WAYYYY
too complicated?
