For example, see my post A Manifesto for Associations to Survive Disruption or my e-book lamenting the state of Association Management Systems, The AMS as We Know it is Dead. We are also a somewhat crazy association that is trying to make Hubspot the core of our business. Beyond all this, I am more engaged in social and community technologies than is probably healthy. Certainly, more than my wife finds tolerable.

By: John Mancini May 29th, 2015

I recently read David McCullough’s The Wright Brothers. Before delving into my curious connection between the Wright Brothers and content management, let me put my reviewer hat on – it’s a very good book.

By: John Mancini May 18th, 2015
