As some of you know, I produce and act as "resident heretic" for the Associations Unorthodox podcast, the world's first podcast for association leaders. I have posted my Annual Meeting preview show to the podcast blog. (The RSS feed is available here.) I hope you'll check it out. If you're not familiar with podcasting or didn't know there is a podcast specifically for you, here's your chance to experience it!

One big idea: Scott McKain

This audio post contains a short telephone interview with Scott McKain as a preview to his session ALL Business is Show Business, which will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, August 16. Here's McKain's one big idea:

There are three levels of member interaction and many folks don't deliver on the third and sometimes not the second. They are

1. processing - handling "stuff;"
2. service - making the processing palatable; and
3. experience - always involves an emotional connection.

Let the audioblogging begin!

We know that many of you out there may prefer text blog postings, but audio really rocks! So this year, the XtremeASAE Blog will have an audioblogging feature, in part so that we can speak with you about the meeting but also because we want to receive your comments through our audio comment line at 206-222-1606. You can also comment using the blog's email address, which is xtremeasaeblog@gmail.com. We hope you'll share your views on the blog and the meeting in the weeks ahead, and we really look forward to what you have to say!
