CEX Virtual, a collaboration between Re:Members and Mariner Management, welcomed association professionals who work with, manage, or nurture chapter leaders or volunteers. Together, the speakers and attendees explored the successes, struggles, strategies, and innovations they’ve seen in chapters during 2019 and their vision for 2020. Our four panelists have years of experience working with components, and their discussion at CEX Virtual served as inspiration and guidance to many event participants.

This whitepaper was assembled by volunteers from the component relations community in collaboration with the Matchbox Virtual Media team. They strategically aimed to pinpoint crucial thoughts and ideas that bubbled up during the virtual event, through the speakers’ conversations, attendee chat, popup questions, and post-event conversation with motivated CRP community volunteers. Whether you were present at the live event, or are catching up on the conversations now, we encourage you to watch the session on demand by registering at the CEX Virtual Event Page or read the transcript. Use this recap of our discussion to ignite conversations in your association, evaluate your programs, support your strategies, and possibly transform your thinking.
