Donna was particularly inspired by strategies for creating meaningful member experiences. "The course gave me great ideas for improving how we plan and execute conferences and meetings, with a strong focus on member value," she said. She is excited to bring this mindset into her work at AMC Source, enhancing how associations engage their members.
