As we closed 2022, we are grateful to all of the associations, companies and organizations that chose to host events at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, MA. As we started 2022, our calendar, like many others in our industry, looks sparse but by the end of the year, our calendar of events was one of the best we have seen. Thank you to all who put your faith in us to safely and successfully host your events. We were able to bring back the remainder of our furloughed staff and are at full operation again!

by The NonProfit Times on Jan. 26, 2023 There are a million and one reasons why charities — 501(c)(3) organizations specifically — don’t lobby. They mostly have to do with nonprofit leaders being ignorant of the law, wrongly thinking that it’s expensive, and not knowing where to start. As a case in point, only 2.5% of charities report being actively engaged in lobbying activities, according to Internal Revenue Service data. However, lobbying is one of the most important ways nonprofits can empower the communities and people they serve. It is arguably, one of the single most effective ways that nonprofits can advance their mission.

Mass Nonprofit News on Jan. 26, 2023 With a deep commitment to the nonprofit sector in the state, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts created a retirement plan specifically for small nonprofits with 20 or fewer employees (at the time of adoption). The Massachusetts 401(k) CORE Plan was built for and is tailored to the Massachusetts nonprofit community. The Office of the State Treasurer sponsors the Plan and meets regularly with an advisory board made up of public benefit and nonprofit leaders across the state to stay apprised of the interests of the sector and to make sure the Plan continues to meet to the needs of the nonprofits it serves. The Commonwealth also acts as a Plan Fiduciary, so the organizations enrolled in the Plan don’t have to shoulder most of that role. This makes the CORE Plan an easy way for nonprofit leaders to offer their employees a quality, affordable benefit, without having to take on a lot of extra work. Employees are a nonprofit organization’s greatest asset. Offering a retirement plan is an effective way to attract, retain, and reward key talent.

ASE Blog on Jan. 24, 2023 Workplace culture is like a plant – it needs watering and nurturing to grow. It isn’t stagnant – it is ever changing. Many people talk and write about maintaining a healthy work culture, but in actuality we should be helping it to grow and change. Over the past three years many workplace cultures have had to adapt to remote and hybrid work. A healthy culture is able to adapt to change. It maintains the core values of the organization but is able to change the way it upholds those values. Through all of the changes to the work environment, five core elements of a healthy culture will always persist. The way we achieve them might change, but the core elements remain: recognition, values, employee voice, leadership, and belonging.
