I gave this presentation today at the Twin Cities UnSummit (http://unsummit.org). This year's UnSummit theme was "Hacking The Recession." And my presentation was focused on the changing role of trade associations and communities--how can they evolve to better benefit their communities in tough times, yet remain true to their missions.

More action. i.e. stewarding solutions If the economy really does suck, to the point that associations are losing lots of members, then isn’t it time for a different approach? i.e. A commitment to volunteer X hours for the association or a related charity = your annual membership In addition to networking and education, couldn’t associations unite their members to take on local social or charitable challenges? i.e. A team of individual experts within a trade association could work together to solve a community problem, facilitated and endorsed by the association HACKING THE RECESSION “The changing role for trade associations and communities” by Tim Brunelle March 7, 2009 | Minneapolis Public Library | 2:00 p.m.
