Praise for Our Taxonomy Article (June 2008)

Rick Johnston, Senior Web Strategist and Association Practice Lead at Ironworks Consulting, gave our article a shout-out in his blog:

"If you missed the last issue of ASAE and the Center's Technoscope e-newsletter, you should check out Jacqui Olkin's article on 'Demystifying Taxonomy.' It is a great overview of what a taxonomy is, why it is important, and the key elements of developing and maintaining one. A must-read for any association thinking about a major redesign of their website(s)."

New Article: Membership 2.0 (March 2008)

The March 2008 ASAE membership newsletter features our article on "Web 2.0" social media for association membership recruitment and retention.

Another of our articles on social media, Social Engagements (see p. 27), was recently featured in Association Publishing magazine.
