ESSAE to Offer Seminar The End of Membership As We Know It for Nonprofits

ALBANY, NY (10/14/2011)(readMedia)-- Rather than negotiate and haggle your way back to the top using traditional methods, Sarah Sladek's presentation on The End of Membership As We Know It will introduce associations to revolutionary membership models to put nonprofits on the membership fast-track.

This two hour presentation plus luncheon will take place on Wednesday, November 2nd at the Crowne Plaza Albany.

The presenter, Sarah Sladek, is author of the American Society of Association Executives' latest book, The End of Membership As We Know It: Building the Fortune-Flipping, Must-Have Association of the Next Century. In this two-hour presentation, Sarah will cover: what members want from your association how to stay relevant and profitable; how to dramatically increase the return on investment in your association and create a must-have membership; and how to determine the best membership model for your own association and whether a change is needed to increase membership and revenue. Sladek's presentation is guaranteed to help your association build a sustainable, prosperous, next generation association that will corner the marketplace and keep members coming back for more.

The day will conclude with a cocktail reception and networking Luncheon, offering networking opportunities and camaraderie. More details and registration are online at www.essae.org.
