SUMMARY:From Email Chaos to Coordination: Build a Better Email Program (VIRTUAL)
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, December 10\, 2026\nTime: 3:00–4:00 PM\nMetro NYSAE Members: FREE\nNon-members: $35\n  \nWhen everyone has something to market to members\, email can quickly become chaotic. Last-minute requests pile up\, teams compete for space on the calendar\, members receive too much email\, and the people managing it all are left trying to keep up. You feel the chaos internally and your members see it too. \nEmail governance brings order to the chaos. \n  \nIn this session\, we’ll look at how associations can use coordination\, shared planning\, and clear expectations to build a healthier email program. You’ll learn how to create a shared email calendar\, establish guidelines for when and how often you communicate\, coordinate across departments\, and use performance data to make better decisions about what stays\, what changes\, and what can go. \n  \nThe goal isn’t more rules. It’s better teamwork\, less email fatigue\, and more time to create communications that actually move members to action. \n  \nMeet the Speaker: Amber Worthen\n  \n \nAmber Worthen is the Founder and CEO of Email Maven\, a service agency dedicated to helping non-profits create emails members actually want. With more than 14 years working inside non-profits herself\, Amber understands the pressure of tight budgets\, busy teams\, and the constant demand to “send one more email.” She has audited over 50 association email programs and is known for transforming overwhelmed inbox strategies into streamlined data-driven systems that boost engagement and conversions.\n  \nA frequent speaker\, Amber is known for making email strategy practical\, actionable\, and even a little fun.\nOutside of work\, Amber is a wife and mom of three busy kids who keep her just as energized as her inbox.
