Leading What’s Next

At the 2026 Women’s Executive Forum, we’re redefining leadership as a living legacy—one shaped by intentional impact, courageous action, and collective momentum. Every decision we make and every step we take propels us forward, creating a more inclusive, equitable future for all.

As Association Forum celebrates 110 years of empowering association professionals, this year’s theme, Legacy In Motion, honors the women who paved the way, celebrates those leading today, and uplifts the next generation of change makers. Together, we rise—lifting each other up, forging new paths, and shaping what’s next. Join the movement.

The Belonging Blueprint: What Today’s Members Actually Want—Locally
2026-03-26 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Detroit)
You don’t need your chapters to run more events—you need them to design belonging. Let’s explore how HQ/component staff help chapters adopt small‑group formats that create real connection—mentoring circles, micro‑gatherings, challenge sprints, and pop‑ups. We’ll show examples to get components innovating and add metrics that matter (belonging, activation, event pull, agility, equity, interaction quality) so they can track depth, not just headcount. Leave with examples, KPI options and quick win plan. If your components are wrestling with shallow engagement, stressed volunteers, and fragmented value, here’s a blueprint to re‑energize local community fast.

Learning Objectives:

1) Diagnose shallow engagement using belonging and participation signals from current research. 2) Explore small‑group patterns (mentoring circle, micro‑gathering, sprint, pop‑up). 3) Identify KPIs (belonging, activation, event pull, agility, equity, interaction quality) and how to capture. 4) Learn a 30‑day quick‑win pilot you can try with a component (bonus, do before CEX and so we can explore more deeply).

The RUG Revolution Leadership Experience
2026-04-08 09:00 - 15:30 (America/Detroit) | Society of Critical Care Medicine, Mount Prospect, Illinois, United States
Are you tired of stepping over the same leadership challenges — and not seeing real movement?

The RUG Revolution Leadership Experience is a facilitator-led, immersive leadership lab for association and nonprofit leaders who are ready to stop managing around problems and start moving them.

A “rug” is the persistent barrier everyone adapts to:

A workflow that frustrates people

A decision that keeps getting deferred

A role that creates friction

A system that drains time and trust

A limmiting belief

Rugs survive because they’re familiar.But they cost you momentum.

This is not a sit-and-listen seminar. It’s a structured, practical lab where you will work on your real challenge and leave with a plan in motion.

What You’ll Walk Away With

Using the H.E.A.R.T. Powered Leadership™ framework (Humanize, Empower, Ascend, Reimagine, Transform), you will:

Clearly define your RUG statement

Surface the real human and operational impact

Clarify ownership and the decision that’s been avoided

Build two viable solution paths

Create one focused 30-day test

Map a 30-60-90 plan

Secure an accountability partner

You won’t leave with notes.You’ll leave with action.

Who Should Attend

Association and nonprofit leaders who:

Are ready to address the issue everyone keeps stepping over

Want practical tools, not theory

Value clarity, courage, and forward momentum

Limited to 60 participants for depth and meaningful engagement.

Serious outcomes. Lively experience.

We don’t step over rugs.We move them.

Reserve your seat today.

How Executives Choose Their Next AMS
2026-05-01 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Detroit)
Most executives choose a new AMS maybe once a decade. Some have never done it at all. No wonder the process can feel overwhelming, slow, and—honestly—a little dated. This session cuts through all of that.

We’ll talk about what actually drives a smart AMS decision today. Not feature lists. Not 200line RFPs. Not marathon demos. We’re talking strategy, outcomes, and the realities leaders face when the stakes are high and the change is big.

You’ll hear what works. What doesn’t. And the “please don’t do this” moments we’ve seen in hundreds of AMS searches.

Member Engagement Lab #1: How to Engage People When You Don’t Know What to Do
2026-05-05 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Detroit)
Leadership is saying, “We need to engage members more.” Yep! You agree, but….how? You know engagement matters, and at the same time, next steps feel really unclear. It’s easy to overthink it or do nothing at all.

Let’s start engaging members even when there’s no strategy or a perfect plan. You just need a few simple moves to get going.

Join us and your association staff colleagues to learn the 3 powerful engagement hacks that you can use right away to spark participation and connection.

Member Engagement Lab #2: How to Engage Members When You are Super Duper Busy
2026-05-12 13:00 - 14:00 (America/Detroit)
Your to-do list is already overflowing with emails, member requests, and all the events, benefits, and services that need to get done. And now you are supposed to “increase engagement?” With what time?

Member engagement doesn’t always have to be time-consuming. It’s something you can add to what you are already doing.

In this fast-paced, collaborative session, we will share how to sprinkle a little magic into your everyday work. You will see how to turn regular administrative tasks into meaningful moments of connection.

Adapt these big ideas, brainstorm with your colleagues, and leave with practical ideas that don’t add one more thing to your plate.

Beacon's May 2026 AMS Showcase
2026-05-14 10:00 - 16:00 (America/Detroit)
All-day virtual event where associations can watch structured, side-by-side demos of AMS platforms. We’re keeping it to 18 vendors, with three sessions running simultaneously starting at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.

Each vendor gets a 45-minute slot. The first 30 minutes is a scripted walkthrough — membership join and renew, event registration front and back-end, that — so attendees are comparing apples to apples. The last 15 minutes is for the vendors to show off whatever they want.

re:Members is demoing at Beacon AMS Showcase.
