Keep Up With Technology Trends

It isn’t easy to please everyone when it comes to association training meetings. The key is to use technology to enhance your meetings whenever possible. Here are some tips to help you find and utilize the latest in technology that will work for you and your association.

Step 1 — Take the first step

If you aren’t using PowerPoint and video, it’s time to start. Your association will automatically be upgrading meetings significantly by just picking out some game action to show, playing it for the group and then discussing it. Even if your play editing skills are limited or non-existent, showing the action to you members is important.

Step 2 — Utilize tech-savvy members

If you or other board members have limited abilities related to technology, it’s important to use the skills of a member or members who excel in that area. Add the members to an association training committee or get them to introduce you to the latest presentation technology aids. Professionalizing your association meeting with the help of members can boost your recruitment, retention and overall officiating product.

Step 3 — Do some research

If you want to find better editing software to improve your video presentations for training meetings, research on the Internet what options are available. With some associations having limited funds, cost may factor in.

Step 4 — Keep up with other associations

Sometimes better technology options are just a phone call or email inquiry away to other area associations. Find out what they are using for presentations and whether they like it or not. They might have the solution you’ve been looking for.
