The U.S. higher education system and, along with it, traditional pathways into employment are being disrupted by many factors. Those range from rising costs and increasing student debt to the lingering effects of the global recession. There are also mounting challenges in the post-secondary environment where students must develop new skills for employment in today’s hyper-complex world. Meanwhile, associations are desperate to attract new members, particularly millennials.
Is this the perfect storm? No. It’s a perfect opportunity.
Join Shelly Alcorn, CAE (Alcorn Associates Management Consulting) and Elizabeth Weaver Engel (Spark Consulting) for a lively discussion as they release their new white paper, "The Association Role in the New Education Paradigm."
