Blogging from the Higher Logic Super Forum
Even though community management is just a small part of my responsibilities as Communications & PR manager for a small staff association (SFPE, the Society of Fire Protection Engineers), if you read this blog you know I’ve always been and will probably always be passionate about community management. Especially in the context of associations, I […]
About
About Maggie & Mizz Information Welcome to Mizz Information! It’s a blog about social media, community management and the association sector, with the occasional book/movie/random post thrown in for variety’s sake. I like to say that I know a little bit about a lot of things…that’s pretty much what Mizz Information is about. The things […]
Associations With Engaged Communities Have Higher Retention Rates
If you read this blog, you know I’m obsessed with two things: associations and community management. I’ve been happy to see a slight uptick in associations hiring community managers this year–although salaries seem to be significantly lower than the average salaries reported in the Community Roundtable’s recent salary survey (the average salary for community manager is almost $70k; […]
Book Review: The Circle
Do you ever feel like you’re the last one to read a book that people have been recommending for ages, then you finally read it and you’re mad at yourself for not reading it sooner? That’s how I feel about The Circle by Dave Eggers. Friends at the Community Roundtable recommended it a few months […]
What’s Worth Paying Dues For…And What’s Not
As someone who recently dropped her ASAE membership, I found Joe Rominiecki’s post asking “Who Pays Your Dues?” to be timely. I didn’t leave ASAE because of any ill-will or gripe with the association; quite the contrary, I was actually enjoying my role as volunteer leader on the Power of A Awards judging committee and […]
CAE Bound
Every year for the past few years, I’ve watched other association friends and colleagues take the CAE exam. And each time I’ve thought “should I do it?” And answered myself “no”! No, because I swore to myself when I graduated from college about a billion years ago that I’d never have to go to school […]
BlogWorld Expo New York Recap
It has been a whirlwind few days in my world, to say the least. Last Thursday I participated in BlogWorld’s Twitter party in an attempt to win a pass to BlogWorld NYC. By some miracle–ok, actually because I can Google answers to trivia questions like nobody’s business–I won a two-day pass to the conference. Which […]
Stranded Evangelists Shouldn’t Stay Stranded
I am breathing a sigh of relief today because Harvard Business has a name for what I am–“Stranded Evangelist.” Sounds so much nicer than “Bitter,” which is how I sometimes feel. Jamie Notter blogged about this post and added his own tip to the 5 offered in the Harvard blog. I also propose adding another, […]
Social Media and Work/Life Balance, Redux
I had to have minor surgery last Friday and, subsequently, am trying my best to be “off the grid” this week while I recover. I’m off work for the week and have been sufficiently out of it that I actually have been (mostly) off the computer, including (again, mostly) Facebook and Twitter. And I have […]
