style="FONT-FAMILY: 'trebuchet ms', geneva; COLOR: inherit; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Ever
since President Obama signed into law the
Affordable Care Act on March 23, 2010, there has
been debate among many Americans, especially
association/business leaders, as to the pros and
cons of the law. Various provisions of the Act
are confusing and are being phased in over a
number of years. The Act is intended to assure
that all Americans have medical insurance
coverage either thru employment, statewide
insurance exchanges, or on their
own. Following is a concentrated overview
of the key provisions of the Affordable Care Act
and how it might impact your
association/business team now or in the near
future.</SPAN></DIV>

What do you see as the key emerging uses of the
internet in National Association
Leadership?</SPAN></STRONG></SPAN><BR> <BR><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms, geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><STRONG>A:</STRONG>
Being able to reach all of the members of an
association 24/7 with important information
about what their association is doing for them
as members, plus providing timely
information via both in-person courses as well
as online education such as webinars. Key
information also should be available online
aimed at potential members in order to get them
or their business to join the
association.</SPAN><BR> <BR><SPAN

What surprising applications of the internet
have you found in National Association
Leadership?</SPAN></STRONG></SPAN><BR> <BR><STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms, geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">A: </SPAN></STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms, geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">
Some of the best applications of the Internet
include detailed and timely websites, online
newsletters on at least a monthly basis,
bulletin boards, blogs, and online educational
webinars.</SPAN><BR> <BR><SPAN
style="COLOR: #660000"><STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms, geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Q:
What have been the "Best Uses" of the internet
for you in National Association
Leadership?</SPAN></STRONG></SPAN><BR> <BR><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms, geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><STRONG>A:</STRONG>
One of the “Best Uses” of the Internet is to
provide timely, focused and low-cost information
via members’ only web pages. In today’s
competitive business environment, many people do
not have the time or inclination to leave their
business to travel to meetings for an education,
with significant meeting registration fees,
travel, hotel and food costs. A 1-2 hour online
webinar can be offered to members at very
reasonable costs as a benefit of membership.
They can participate from their office or home,
either when the webinar is held or later, when
they can access an archive
version.</SPAN><BR> <BR><SPAN
style="COLOR: #660000"><STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms, geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Q:
What should be avoided when dealing with the
Internet in National Association
Leadership?</SPAN></STRONG></SPAN> <BR> <BR><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms, geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><STRONG>A:</STRONG>
With providing too much free
information on the Internet, association members
may not see the value of paying for membership
and may elect not renew their membership in
order to save money. It is important for
associations to continue to provide specific
membership benefits that are not on the
Internet.</SPAN><BR> <BR><SPAN
style="COLOR: #660000"><STRONG><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms, geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Q:
Which next steps might you recommend for all of
us to take in National Association
Leadership? </SPAN></STRONG></SPAN><BR> <BR><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms, geneva; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><STRONG>A:</STRONG>
It is critical to have staff that
can use the latest technology in reaching the
members via the Internet, but the association
leadership must not lose the special importance
of face to face communication with its members
annually at a national
conference.</SPAN></DIV></DIV></TD>
