    S3E6: The Association Leader’s Practical Guide to AI Conversations That Matter

    This episode of ASAE Technology Professional Advisory Council (TPAC) explores why AI momentum is stalling across associations — and why the root cause isn’t technology, but hesitation. Rather than focusing on tools or platforms, this conversation digs into the human, strategic, and governance conversations leaders often avoid, including staffing impacts, data privacy, bias, board readiness, and risk tolerance.  Hosted by Laura Graham, Senior Solutions Consultant at Results Direct, this episode features 2 of the authors of The Association Leader’s Practical Guide to AI Conversations That Matter  -Alex Mouw, Executive Advisor for Nonprofits at Amazon Web Services and Chair of the ASAE Technology Council, alongside Tori Miller-Liu, President and CEO of Association for Intelligent Information Management. Together, they share practical guidance for association leaders looking to move forward with AI — without waiting for perfect answers or unanimous agreement.  This podcast is part of a series hosted by the ASAE Technology Professionals Advisory Council.  Follow TPAC on LinkedIn for more conversations like this:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/asae-tpac/  Laura Graham, AAiP: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-johnson-graham/   Alex Mouw, CAE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-mouw-cae/  Tori Miller Liu, MBA, FASAE, CAE, CIP: https://www.linkedin.com/in/torimillerliu/     Artificial Intelligence (AI) was used in the editing of the podcast to remove "Umm"s and "Ahh"s, but all content was created by people!

    S3E1 When One System Isn’t Enough: Rethinking Association Tech for Agility and Growth

    In this episode, "When One System Isn’t Enough: Rethinking Association Tech for Agility and Growth," we explore a challenge many associations face: relying solely on their AMS to manage everything from member management to communications. As member expectations grow and digital strategies become more complex, a single system often can’t keep up—resulting in workarounds, data silos, and stalled innovation. Discover how a more flexible, integrated approach to technology can help. We dive into how associations are rethinking their tech stacks by combining specialized platforms that work seamlessly together. This approach doesn’t replace the AMS but expands its impact, delivering greater agility, richer data insights, and a more personalized member experience. Whether you’re feeling limited by your current system or just curious about what’s next, this episode offers practical insights for building a smarter, more adaptive technology foundation to support growth.
