Editor's Notes
- 1st the declining economy. We are slowly recovering from one of the worst recessions in 70 years.
- Here’s a radical thought: What if associations spent less time dismissing Generation Y for having character flaws or being immature, and more time focused on creating the best association experience possible for them? Would this change in approach yield different results?
- To clarify, we’re referring to people who were born between 1982 and 1995. In 2015 this generation will fall between the ages of 20 and 33.

- powered by innovation and requires organizations to adapt to an interconnected, globalized economy where knowledge and expertise are as critical as other economic resources. This isn’t new information. The Knowledge Economy was first identified in the 1990s, yet here we are nearly 20 years later, and associations are still struggling to transition from Industrial Era.
- the Sharing Economy is entirely based on collaborative and community-building concepts! It’s simply a different approach than what society is used to in both regards. We used to borrow cups of sugar from the neighbors and tools from close friends, but Gen Y is sharing all kinds of products and services with an entire network of total strangers. Not only that, but by entering into this sharing agreement, there’s a positive shared outcome, such as reducing environmental impact, reducing overhead and costs, building communities, utilizing previously under-utilized resources, and generating a positive economic climate. In essence, sharing opens the door to giving. The Sharing Economy opens the door to all types of opportunities for associations. Consider the operational benefits of participating in the Sharing Economy by renting out underused assets within the association itself, like office space and meeting rooms. Better yet, create an online sharing board on your association’s website and allow members to share products, services, and office space with one another. Most businesses at one point or another need temporary help or technology services. Create a platform where members could post openings and hire help on a project basis. Or simply design products to be more sharable and easier to access.
- Access, Exclusivity – what does membership buy?
- Your association is competing for your members’ time and attention all the time, and this is more obvious than ever with Generation Y. In the Experience Economy, everything your association does must deliver a meaningful experience or you’re likely to see attendance and revenue take a sharp nosedive.
- Think of a situation where you felt like you belonged – explain that to me If we could create a really valuable, meaningful membership experience for you – what would that look like?
