A transatlantic conversation advancing the impact and evolution of non-profit organizations. Together with our special guests, each episode we take a deep dive into the issues, topics, challenges and opportunities facing the association community.
What if the goal isn’t to bounce back… but to move forward stronger?
In this latest episode of Association Transformation, co-hosts Elisa Pratt (Brewer Pratt Solutions) and Andrew Chamberlain (Elevated) unpack a bold idea: 👉 Stability isn’t success and recovery may actually be holding associations back. Recorded (literally) from the road as Elisa drives home from the Pennsylvania Society of Association Executives conference, this conversation challenges leaders to rethink resilience, question “best practices,” and embrace disruption as a catalyst for growth—not something to survive. If your organization is:
• Trying to “get back” to where it was
• Playing it safe to avoid risk
• Or measuring success by stability…
…it might be time for a different approach.
🎧 Listen in and join the conversation: Are you building resilience… or becoming truly anti-fragile?
March is National Ethics Awareness Month, which makes it the perfect time to talk about something every association faces, but few discuss honestly: ethics in leadership. In the newest episode of Association Transformation, co-hosts Elisa Pratt of Brewer Pratt Solutions and Andrew Chamberlain of Elevated unpack what ethical governance really looks like inside associations. Not just policies. Not just conflict-of-interest forms. And definitely not a once-a-year board training slide. Instead, they explore the real issues that surface in boardrooms every day: • When does poor behavior cross the line into unethical conduct? • Why do so many governance problems come down to structure and communication gaps? • Who is actually responsible for enforcing ethical standards in an association? • And how do organizations build cultures where integrity is lived and not just written into policy? From volunteer pathways and board recruitment to risk management, accountability, and leadership culture, this conversation digs into the practical realities of ethics in association governance. 🎧 Listen to the latest episode and join the discussion: Where have you seen ethical leadership done well (or poorly) in associations?
