SUMMARY:2026 Association Metro NYSAE/ESSAE Advocacy Day
DESCRIPTION:Association Advocacy Day 2026\nWednesday\, May 13\, 2026\nAlbany\, NY\nDon’t miss your chance to tell YOUR story! \n  \nJoin the Empire State Society of Association Executives (ESSAE) & Metro New York Society of Association Executives (Metro NYSAE) for an Association Advocacy Day on Wednesday\, May 13\, 2026.  \nThe goal of the Metro NYSAE/ESSAE Association Advocacy Day is to raise awareness of the importance and impact of associations to the life and success of New York State\, as well as heighten awareness by elected officials that Metro NYSAE and ESSAE are the “go-to” resources on all matters relating to associations in New York State. \n  \nWhether you are a veteran of the Hill or a first-timer\, ESSAE’s Government Relations Committee will prepare you for the day. Should you have a connection with a particular Legislator\, we will have the opportunity to let them know too\, as it will help us further our message. \n  \nThere is no registration cost to join the event. Come dressed for success – and ready to talk about what you do each day – and the power of associations in New York State! ESSAE will have everything prepared for you! We will hold a virtual orientation session to discuss plans for the event and key talking points in advance of May 13th. \n  \nHere’s Why ESSAE & Metro NYSAE Need YOU to Participate in our Advocacy Day:  \n\nThis is OUR opportunity to EDUCATE lawmakers on the power of associations and our partners – who we are\, what we do\, and why we are important.\nThis is OUR opportunity to raise AWARENESS about ESSAE & Metro NYSAE. Help us inform legislators that WE are the “go-to” resources on all things related to associations.\nThis is OUR opportunity to SHARE concerns on issues that affect associations.\nThis is our mission\, and we need YOU to help us.\n\nIs there a legislative agenda? Will we be lobbying? \n  \nThe goal for the day is to educate Legislators on the real impact of associations on the state. Participants will have access to a “New York Associations by the Numbers” document.  This will be our lead in piece\, and then we ask attendees to talk about their particular association and tout achievements in order to reinforce the overall message. \n  \nThe ESSAE Government Affairs Committee is monitoring legislative activity and if any bills are identified that could impact the work of Metro NYSAE members\, ESSAE would include this information and position in our efforts. \n  \nESSAE & Metro NYSAE will not be explicitly lobbying for or against any specific legislation. YOUR participation will not require you to register as a lobbyist or designated lobbyist.  \n  \nClick here for more information.

SUMMARY:Beyond Surveys: Getting Maximum Value out of Market Research
DESCRIPTION:Register below for a virtual discussion exploring how associations can expand their approach to member insight by adopting qualitative research techniques. \n Wednesday\, May 20\, 2026 | 12:00pm – 1:00pm ET \n Virtual \n Registration Fees: Members – FREE | Non-Members – $35 \nAssociations and nonprofits operate in one of the most challenging environments in recent memory. It is harder than ever to recruit and retain members. Organizations are navigating political and economic uncertainty\, evolving workforce expectations\, and increasing demands on members’ time\, attention\, and budgets. \n  \nAt the same time\, associations are competing in a far more crowded marketplace. In this environment\, sustaining meaningful member engagement has become significantly more difficult. Understanding the value your organization delivers is no longer a “nice to have”—it is essential for relevance\, retention\, and sustainability.
