Why Every Association Exec Needs to Read The State of Community Management Report

06.12.2019 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Hellloooo there! Been about a million minutes since I last posted here–or anywhere, other than my journal–but I guess that’s what happens when you become your own boss. It’s been a wild year to say the least, but kind of an awesome one. I’ll save the long story for another time, but short story: I’m […]

Pea pod with title transposed over it

Remember when I wrote about how journalism was scrambling to find a sustainable path forward as brands continue to shift their ad spend to digital giants Facebook and Google? And how that path forward is the same one that associations have always relied on: membership? Well, it’s been about 18 months and the Membership Puzzle […]

First of all, hi. Hope your summer was good. I’ll be honest–mine was hard. I’ve been ruminating over how much to share here for a few months…which is basically why I’ve stopped blogging, I guess. I’ve written about mental health stigma before, and about how much better teens and young adults are at talking openly […]

Hey there–sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I say “posted” rather than “written,” because I’ve been writing a ton over the past few months, actually. Just none of it here, or anywhere public. Working on the blogging part, because I still think there’s value in blogging and I still have a lot […]

07.06.2018 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Happy summer! Hope yours is going better than mine so far. : / A few weeks ago, I led a DC-area Idea Swap about 21st century communication strategies for associations, so figured I’d repurpose it here for those of you not in the DC area. I hate powerpoint so figured I’d try something new–Wakelet–to curate […]

What associations need to know about Facebook’s new political content rules

06.13.2018 by Maggie McGary // 2 Comments

Ah Facebook…always looking for new/better ways to be transparent and to protect our security. That’s why they’ve implemented this…oh, sorry, that’s not it–that’s just the billionth time they “accidentally” changed users’ sharing settings to public. Last week. But they’re sorry, obvi, because they a whole commercial promising that they’re going to do better to protect […]

Mental health stigma goes double for older people–and why we need to fix that

05.11.2018 by Maggie McGary // 6 Comments

Remember that time last summer that I declared that I was done blogging about social media and was pivoting to writing about mental health? Or how almost exactly a year ago I  wrote about mental health stigma and how it seems to be much worse for older people than younger ones? And then I proceed […]
