### FROM ASSOCIATIONSNOW.COM

“I have staff who work very fixed hours and others who have a lot of variability in time and place. That’s the great thing about being results-oriented: Either way or something in between is fine with me so long as we are achieving what we need to achieve.”  
 *—C. David Gammel, CAE, executive director, Entomological Society of America, on AssociationsNow.com*

### FROM LINKEDIN

“Members care about advocacy but some members are more ready to engage than others. Helping members prepare and appreciate the long-term advocacy ROI are important association services.”  
 *—Amanda Batson, CEO, ADB Partners, on the Associations Now LinkedIn group*

### FROM COLLABORATE

“Somebody once told me that it’s time to leave when you’ve gotten enough, when you’ve given enough, and when you’ve had enough.” *—Edward Bernstein, president, Industrial Research Institute, on ASAE’s Collaborate network*
