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 […]

Ah, that time of year when summer is wrapping up, ASAE Annual is less than a week away and you’re crazed trying to get your work done AND prep for the conference while also stressing about leaving your new puppy for FIVE nights…not to mention the whole clear plastic bag instead of a purse thing. […]

LinkedIn Groups: What you Need to Know Now

05.03.2017 by Maggie McGary // 3 Comments

If you read this blog, you know I tend to be sort of a glass-half-empty kind of gal. I prefer to think of myself as a realist rather than a pessimist, but hey–someone has to be the downer, right? 🙂 But with regard to LinkedIn–specifically, LinkedIn groups–I’ve been chronicling them being stripped of features and […]

Does Association Community Management Need Its Own Association?

Does Association Community Management Need Its Own Association?

What could be more meta than a conference for community managers to talk about community management? How about an association conference for association community managers to talk about managing association communities? Ok, sorry–I’m in post-conference stupor after my first-ever SFPE annual conference (Society of Fire Protection Engineers) and also still thinking about the Higher Logic Super […]

Association Community Management Palooza

Association Community Management Palooza

  It occurs to me every now and then that I have terrible timing for some things in life, mostly because patience is not one of my strong points. Career-wise, it’s been occurring to me a lot this past year, as I’ve watched the association community management space blossom….about three years after I left it. […]

What Associations Can Learn from Reddit’s Volunteer Moderator Revolt

07.04.2015 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

According to MGI’s 2015 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report, more and more associations are tying member retention to private online communities, citing that “for associations reporting more participation in their private social network, 53% report an increase in membership over the past year, compared to 22% whose membership declined.” Not bad, right? Not to be all […]

Reason One Billion Your Association Community Shouldn’t Live on LinkedIn

04.21.2015 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

Despite all evidence to the contrary given my lack of posts over the past months, I’m still here. And yes, I’m still obsessed with the same issues, if maybe a tiny bit less since I just spent the last year working outside the association world. But it seems like no matter how hard I try […]

Associations With Engaged Communities Have Higher Retention Rates

12.02.2014 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

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; […]

Why Community Manager Should Be Your Association’s Next Hire

11.14.2014 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about my favorite topic, association community management, right? I’m not currently working in the association world, but I still strongly believe in the importance of associations and can’t help but think “how does this apply to associations” when I read pretty much anything. This was especially true when […]

What Online Communities Can Learn About Events from DashCon

07.15.2014 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If you read this blog, you already know I’m kind of obsessed with the topic of online community, particularly where associations and online communities intersect. I’ve written before about how online communities present a real threat to associations because they allow people to connect around a common industry or interest without all the governance stuff, […]
