🔓Unlocking Membership Engagement: Sarah Sladek at MSAE25
As membership organizations face unprecedented levels of disengagement, Sarah Sladek, best selling author and a global leader in generational strategy, is set to deliver compelling insights at MSAE25. Her sessions, "Member Shift: Why Members Leave and the Strategies to Bring Them Back" and "The World According to Z," promise to provide invaluable strategies for revitalizing member engagement and understanding the expectations of younger generations.
Understanding the Membership Crisis
In her keynote session on December 10, 2025, from 11:15 AM to 1:00 PM, Sarah will address the alarming trend of declining membership engagement—a challenge plaguing organizations across the globe. Despite generating billions in revenue, the membership sector lacks a formalized approach to enhancing member retention. Sarah highlights a pressing need for innovative strategies, as traditional methods borrowed from business or nonprofit models have proven insufficient. With an objective lens, Sarah will delve into the reasons behind this disengagement and provide actionable solutions that organizations can implement. Her insights are drawn from extensive research and experience in helping organizations develop cultures of relevance and belonging. Leaders attending her session will not just gain knowledge; they will walk away equipped with tools to initiate real change in their memberships.
Engaging the Next Generation: Gen Z
In her concurrent session, "The World According to Z," Sarah will turn her focus to the younger members entering the workforce. As Gen Z comes of age during one of the most disruptive periods in history, they bring new skills, values, and expectations that organizations must understand to thrive. By sharing key data on trends driven by this generation, Sarah will help participants grasp how they can effectively engage and retain younger members.
