20261006 Tuesday Topics – The Importance of Affiliates
Tuesday Topics continues its exploration of what makes ACB tick! We look at what may well be an endangered species! Some special-interest affiliates are growing but most state affiliates are not! They either remain where they are or get smaller! We explore why this happens! Obviously as with our discussion of conventions last week much of what we say is conjecture! There are probably as many reasons as there are grains of sand why affiliates are struggling. We explore some and hope others will give us other elements that contribute to their decline. Are affiliates important? Would we do just as well with an organization where our national office and leadership made decisions that would be approved by our members as individuals? What do affiliates do? What should they do? What are affiliates that are doing well doing that others are not? Has zoom helped affiliates or not? Do affiliates feel overshadowed by our national organization? Where should we be going as affiliates and how do we get from here to there?
