5. + The Race for Relevance…. HR growing faster than any other profession, yet it is taking an additional 4 years for HR pro’s to join their HR association. From 7 years now up to 11 years. GTS is widely known as the easiest and fastest way for YP’s to obtain information as opposed to fee based information resources. Associations continue to struggle for relevance even though Americans are volunteering more (a total of almost 8 billion hours - a value of roughly $171 billion). Most people who volunteered in recent years, did so to help schools, youth organizations or to advance the lives of young people. Activities largely included raising money. People who volunteered as a teen or young adult were more likely to volunteer as they got older. (c) 2013 Power Project Institute, LLC

What shifts can you make to move from traditional to transformational?

12. + Yeah, but are my leaders ready? (c) 2013 Power Project Institute, LLC

13. + Who’s Ready for Transformation? Is there a clearly communicated and broadly understood strategy? Are volunteers and members valued and respected? Is there a sense of urgency for the transformation? Are leaders open to investments in volunteer/member retention? Is there a recognized need for change? Is there a willingness to support long-term strategic shifts or just short-term wins? Have you clearly defined the need that the shift will fulfill? (WIIFT) Is now the right time for implementing a culture shift (i.e., it will complement - not compete - with other major changes currently being made at work or in the chapter or at the State level?) Have you adequately identified the time, people and financial resources needed? (business case) Can you describe what success looks like? What measures will inform you of progress?
