Here at MemberClicks, we’re all about the small-staff associations. I wanted to kick off the week by recognizing a few great resources for small-staff executives, members and administrators. These links aren’t necessarily very recent, but there’s still some valuable information here.

Wes Trochlil shared his theory on why associations often don’t invest in technology. Do you think short-term or big picture?

There was a great article in the September 2009 issue of “Associations Now” called The small-staff executive’s niche and why we stick. Small-staff exist out of necessity, and the association is usually vital to its members. I loved this interview.

From the Canadian Society of Association Executives, The Top 10 Things an Association CEO Must Remember. I’m a sucker for lists, and this one has some great reminders, including “lead from the bottom” and “you need your staff more than they need you.”

I stumbled upon a post in the Acronym archives about reinventing your marketing strategy. If you have a great Web site and great programs, but no one takes advantage of them, does it even matter?

Another article from “Associations Now” discussed how one small-staff exec transitioned from a licensed paramedic (training and teaching) to CEO of the San Francisco Paramedic Association. You may question your own decisions, but that doesn’t mean others do.

For more great info, be sure to stop by ASAE and the Center’s Small-Staff Association Executive Resources Online. It’s an outstanding aggregate of information tailored specifically for small-staff execs.
