My co-author Shelly Cumbie Alcorn and I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Mariner Management’s Peggy Hoffman to discuss The Time Is Now: Association Resilience and Adaptation and the Anthropocene Climate Disruption, our new whitepaper on associations and the climate crisis.
The focus of our conversation was on the critical role we believe components play in helping associations develop resilience and prepare to adapt to the intensifying changes that are happening in our world that are affecting EVERY association and EVERY profession or industry associations serve.
Recognize that local is key: Localization is critical to both resilience (the ability to bounce back after a crisis) and adaptation (the ability to change the ways we live, work, and play). And for associations, strong chapters – the locus of localization – are essential when facing the impacts of climate change.
