Association Transformation
Welcome to Association Transformation, a transatlantic conversation advancing the impact and evolution of non-profit organizations. We're always seeking diversity of thought and new examples of innovation in action. That and a commitment to mission driven organizations spurred this collaboration between the teams at Brewer Pratt Solutions and Elevated. Together with our special guests, each episode we take a deep dive into the issues, topics, challenges and opportunities facing the association community. Between us we’ve been there, done it, got the t-shirt: membership, mergers, boards and leadership, advocacy, and education - nothing is off limits. Any subject that effects non-profits, their survival or their success is up for discussion.

Breaking Down the Pillars: Redefining Associations for Direct Impact
In this episode of Association Transformation, Elisa and Andrew are joined by longtime association expert Matty Rubenstein to challenge the traditional “three pillars” model that has long-defined associations—community, knowledge, and convening. Together, they explore how associations can break free from these silos and create direct, measurable impact in today’s rapidly evolving landscape. From shifting organizational mindsets to exploring innovative solutions, this conversation is a forward-thinking look at the future potential of associations. Tune in for fresh insights and actionable ideas that push beyond the conventional approach!
