Because the economy is weighing heavy on many of your minds, we've decided to use the power of community to help overcome these uncertain times. We know that the solutions you need can come from your peers.
We've asked key experts in aging services to share their anecdotes and insights regarding the uncertain economic times facing AAHSA members. And we've asked many of you. Click here to read about the results of a December 2008 survey of AAHSA state chairs about their concerns and reactions to the economy.
In addition, attendees from the 2009 CEMO Winter Conference offered their ideas on effective human resources practices during tough economic times. Click here for those HR ideas.
Also, our friends over at The Bridgespan Group, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit that helps other not-for-profits and philanthropic leaders in the hard work of developing strategies for their organizations, spoke with futureAge about "Managing in Tough Times: 7 Steps."
Finally, below we've provided some replicable ideas -- in either audio and text format -- from members like you for saving an organization $5,000 or generating additional $5,000 in revenue. These nuts and bolts ideas can be the key to our collective success in these uncertain times. If you'd like to share, please send your ideas.
Please include your name and organization so we can recognize you for your ideas.
