By now, most associations recognize that a robust online community isn’t a luxury, it’s a must-have. Whether your members are craving more meaningful connections, better collaboration tools, or streamlined access to resources, the right platform can make all the difference. But choosing the “right” platform? That’s where it gets tricky.
If engagement is the goal, then creative content is the path to reaching it. Yet for many associations, consistently generating meaningful, relevant, and interactive content for members can feel like an uphill battle. The question isn’t whether content matters, it’s how to create experiences that invite participation, foster knowledge-sharing, and deepen relationships among members.
Last week we had the pleasure of sponsoring the Association Platform Power Conference (APP25), held April 1–2 at the Hyatt Regency in Reston, Virginia. This two-day event brought together users of Fonteva and Protech, two of the leading association management systems, for hands-on learning, networking, and discovery of tools that can amplify the impact of their organizations. With a strong turnout of association professionals eager to explore new ways to future-proof their operations, APP25 delivered on its promise to be a hub of innovation and inspiration.
The importance of a good mentor is no secret. As someone new in the association space half a decade ago, I leaned heavily on the connections I made both within Breezio and across the association space to familiarize myself with the industry. Building connections within your industry is one of the best ways to advance in your profession, and as an association, you can act as the home for building these connections between your members!

Non-dues revenue has become a critical component for the financial health and sustainability of associations, but we find that so many associations find it hard to get started. According to a study done in 2023 by Naylor AMS, generating non-dues revenue was a top challenge of those surveyed and this trend has only continued to accelerate.
