We are all aware that storytelling is a powerful tool to create connection, but are you using this strategy to its fullest in your association?
In today's episode, we explore the dynamic world of association management and how to bring events, publications, and content to life with the power of storytelling. We have two remarkable guests, Executive Director Steven Stout, FASAE, CAE, and Marketing & Communications Director Katy Markert from the Texas Society of Association Executives (TSAE).
Steven shares his fascinating journey from his early days as a radio DJ to hospitality and association leadership positions, and how storytelling played a pivotal role along the way. While Katy shares her early experiences understanding the importance of community and collaboration, all of which today is embodied in the TSAE's motto, "Better Together."
