Encapsulating Economic News for Members

Like many associations, the International Association of Fire Fighters has developed a “Surviving the Economic Crisis” Toolkit for members, and this one includes a nice, easy-to-use page summarizing news articles and links related to “cuts in state and local budgets, fire fighter staffing, health care benefits, compensation, pension plans, and other areas as a result of the downturn.” A brief archive organized by month at the bottom provides a simple way to access and identify trends.

Sounds like a great resource.

While it might not be appropriate for this association, other should consider also publishing ideas that go beyond surviving and address thriving in an economic downturn.

We need association leadership that helps members go beyond the cost-cutting mindset and actions that naturally are appearing.
