		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#8217;s true. If you&#8217;re an association of any kind, chances are extremely high that at least one of your committees or working groups has a list of open items, or issues. It could be items that the group hasn&#8217;t yet reached consensus on, parking lot items that the group hasn&#8217;t yet had a chance [...]]]></description>

Sometimes he was not the first to invent, as with the mouse, the MP3 Player, [...]]]></description>

The home page flashes an inspiring mission statement, myriad momentum-building news blurbs and the logos of your most prominent members and sponsors. Of course, visitors can drill down into countless secondary pages to mine seemingly endless information about your association, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This webinar outlines proven best practices – covering both process and legal concerns – that have helped some of the largest industry associations work at peak efficiency and productivity.

For any standards development organization, the technical process is the heart of the association. As a result, how that process is created and managed will be key to ensuring an entity’s ultimate success. Yet, ironically, the people responsible for setting up a new standards organization often don't know how to do it, or even where to begin. Even if they do, they will inevitably encounter numerous unforeseen obstacles that can bog down their technical mission, ranging from disputes involving intellectual property rights to conflicting member agendas.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many associations, a database is just a contact list.  They’re missing out on what matters—strategic use of information.

Consider this—many associations struggle with member retention.  One of the keys to retention is member engagement—keeping your members active within the association.  A  good member database can help with that—for example, run a query to see what members aren’t attending educational programs, haven’t logged in to the members only web site, and aren’t on committees.  Those are individuals that a membership director or committee should reach out to.]]></description>
