Inspired by Ricochet’s Association Academy Member Growth course, members of the Association Executives of North Carolina (AENC) approached us with a challenge: Could we transform our online course content into an engaging, in-person workshop for their upcoming summit? We were excited to take on the task.
Ricochet’s team condensed our comprehensive ten-week online course into a fast-paced, two-day, six-hour bootcamp. We tailored the content specifically for smaller organizations, recognizing their unique needs and constraints. To keep things lively and interactive, we ditched the traditional lecture format for an open discussion approach and incorporated quizzes to reinforce learning and spark discussions. But we didn’t stop there. We believe that collaboration and shared experiences are invaluable for growth. So, we encouraged attendees to share their own membership strategies and collateral examples, fostering a rich environment for peer-to-peer learning and networking.
For those who wanted to dive even deeper, we offered our regular live course, where they could continue exploring membership growth best practices and even earn CAE credit. The in-person bootcamp provided a concentrated dose of actionable insights, empowering AENC members to supercharge their membership growth strategies.
