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.

Behind the Byline: The Stories That Shape Associations
In Episode 155 of Association Transformation, co-hosts Elisa Pratt and Andrew Chamberlain welcome Mark Athitakis, Contributing Editor at Associations Now, the flagship digital publication of ASAE.
Mark pulls back the curtain on the stories behind the stories, sharing:
✅ How he translates complex topics like governance, membership, technology, and events into accessible insights for association leaders
✅ The tension between print versus digital and what associations risk losing when abandoning tangible member connections
✅ Why governance challenges are really crises of alignment (and why we keep revisiting the same issues)
✅ His candid take on AI in content generation and why “human in the loop” creativity still matters most
If you’ve ever read Associations Now and wondered about the mind behind the byline, this is your chance to hear from Mark directly.
