The Community Brands Deal is Great for Vendors; Associations, Not So Much

04.20.2017 by Maggie McGary // 3 Comments

If you work in the association sector, you’ve probably heard the buzz about the consolidation of three major players in the AMS (for those not in association-world that’s Association Management Software…basically CRM for associations) space: YourMembership (YM), Abila and Aptify “joining forces” under a new “family of brands”: Community Brands. I’m using all the quotes to […]

Should Scientific Association Communicators Be Worried?

01.25.2017 by Maggie McGary // 4 Comments

Granted, I’m a worrier by nature, but this morning I can’t help but wonder if there’s extra cause for worry today in light of the censorship that’s happening here and now in the world. The EPA has been ordered to remove the climate change pages from its website, and is under a “temporary media blackout.” […]

Too Much News to Sum up in a Headline

12.07.2016 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Whew, it’s been a busy few months…or few years, really. If you read my last post, I was–yet again–on the hunt for my forever career. Despite that bleak-sounding description of the job search process, I had a whirlwind few months of freelancing, doing a contract gig at the most fun office ever, interviewing for some great jobs […]

5 Reasons Nonprofits Have an Advantage When it Comes to Social Media

10.04.2016 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If you read this blog, you already know I have a tendency to skew kind of negative on things. Lol. Ok, so yes, maybe I’m stating that a bit more mildly than is precisely accurate but whatever…my point is that, people often accuse me of being too negative. I personally just call it being a […]

Bridging the Education to Employment Gap

09.07.2016 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I swear, I have not taken a permanent vacation from writing; sending my youngest off to college and starting life as an empty nester has just knocked me off my writing game a bit. But the good thing about knowing tons of smart people is that there’s always great stuff out there to share here. […]

An Introvert’s Guide to ASAE Annual

08.11.2016 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

This weekend, about a billion people (ok, not that many, but it feels like it if you’ve ever been in the midst of the throng that is ASAE’s Annual Meeting before) and I will descend on Salt Lake City for fun and booze and networking and, of course, learning. It’s amazing to be among thousands […]

ASSOCIATION BLOGGING IN 2016

Summer just sucks in terms of blogging…or doing much of anything, if you’re me. I don’t mean my summer has sucked; it hasn’t. But between conferences, work, getting ready to have two kids in college, being stressed out by too many entertainment options and just life, making time to write for fun or just do anything […]

Do You Give Your Product Away for Free? No? Then Please Don’t Ask Clients to Work for Free

06.29.2016 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I’ve been thinking about this post for a few months now but haven’t hit “publish” because I didn’t want to come off as ranty or negative or whatever. But let’s be honest…when has that ever stopped me in the past? 🙂 So, sorry but…not really sorry because I’d like to think that there are win/win […]

Social Media Tools and Resources for Social Learning

05.21.2016 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

This past week I, together with my friend Shari Rager from American Medical Writers Association, did a session at Tagoras’s Learning*Technology*Design conference on designing for social learning. Of course I meant to blog about it before it happened, but we all know how that goes…so I figure better late than never. This was the session […]
