DESCRIPTION

Member retention costs are soaring for most associations and building member loyalty within each generation is a key goal of any association; but do you really understand how loyalty works? This session takes a fascinating look into the science of loyalty and what it means for associations struggling to add and retain members. Using the latest neuroscience research, you’ll understand how the brain processes information, which will help you develop programs for and communicate to four generations of members in ways that better ensure loyalty.
