Description
Are you part of a small association seeking to implement technology effectively? Are you facing unique challenges, like a limited number of employees or tight budgetary constraints? Are you lacking a dedicated IT staff, where some employees wear many "hats" and seldom have the extra time required to ensure the success of technology-related projects? Strategies exist for such organizations to make the most of their limited IT resources and link technology initiatives to the organization's mission without losing focus or driving staff members to the breaking point. Learn how associations with fewer than 15 FTE employees took stock of their current IT use, sought suitable industry partners to assist them with their needs and successfully leveraged technology to advance their organization's mission and vision. Explore how to get the most bang for your technology bucks—even if you don't have deep pockets!

Learning Objectives & Key Takeaways
Explore methods for auditing current technologies and related business practices in place at a small staff association., Provide pointers on how small staff associations can undertake an effective vendor selection process., Examine strategies for small staff associations with limited budgets to maximize ROI on technology initiatives and projects.
