A new approach to software development is reshaping what's possible for resource-constrained organizations — but only if you approach it with clear eyes. There is a quiet revolution happening in how software gets built, and it is moving faster than most association leaders realize. It goes by an u...

Your association's AI policy was probably written for chatbots and content generation. But the technology has moved on — and your governance needs to move with it.

Agentic AI is fundamentally different. These aren't tools that wait for a prompt and return a response. AI agents can reason through multi-step tasks, access your systems, make decisions, and take action autonomously. They can manage member communications, process data, handle renewals, and orchestrate workflows — all with minimal human involvement.

That changes the governance equation entirely.

Policies built around "acceptable use of generative AI" don't address the questions agentic AI raises: Who is accountable when an agent acts on behalf of your organization? What decisions should require human approval? How do you ensure member data stays protected when an AI agent is operating across multiple systems? What happens when an agent makes an error that impacts your members?

If your association is exploring agentic AI — or already deploying it — your AI governance policy needs to reflect this new reality. Not as a future consideration, but now.

We've updated our AI Governance Policy Builder based on the latest edition of our book to help associations address these exact challenges. It walks you through the critical policy areas specific to agentic AI, so your organization can move forward with confidence and accountability.

March is Ethics Awareness Month — and there's never been a more important time to talk about AI ethics.

AI agents can now book meetings, draft policies, analyze member data, and make decisions on your behalf. That shift from tools we use to agents that act for us raises a question every association leader needs to answer: what are the ethical boundaries?

That's why we wrote Ethical AI for Associations — a practical guide to governing AI with integrity, covering member data ethics, vendor risk, agentic decision-making, incident response, and more.
And because a book isn't enough without action, we built four free interactive tools to help you get started today:

AI Governance Readiness Assessment — find out where your organization stands
True Cost of Ungoverned AI Calculator — see the real financial risk of doing nothing
AI Deployment Decision Framework — map your use cases to a risk/value matrix
AI Governance Policy Builder — build a custom governance policy in 5 steps

No login. No paywall. Just practical resources for association leaders who want to get ahead of this responsibly.

What are we waiting for? It would take years to fully utilize the AI technology that already exists TODAY. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to realize market advantage. Don't wait for the next headline to get started.

But You Have to Get Moving ... Now Here's a fact that rarely makes it into the AI headlines: the most transformative AI technologies available to associations today are already built, already accessible, and already delivering results — and most organizations haven't meaningfully touched them yet....

Had a great conversation with the CESSE CEOs this morning with my colleagues Torey Carter-Conneen, Rebekah Stacha, and Jessica Miles. Kudos to the team for the quick pivot to hybrid format. Weather can't stop us! :)
