Change is on the way, but you will be able to lead—rather than react—if you see it coming. These action briefs summarize research from the ASAE ForesightWorks initiative, an ongoing future-focused program of environmental scanning and trends analysis based on ASAE Foundation research.

Each of the three action briefs included in this package analyzes a key driver of change facing the association community and society in general:

• “Algorithms and Rights” looks at the intersection between advancing technologies, individual rights, and organizational ethics.
  
  
• “Hybrid Meetings” identifies possible directions for the future of association meetings and conferences.
  
  
• “A World Reshaped by COVID” forecasts ongoing and longer-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic for the association community.

Each action brief provides evidence-based forecasts and information on key data points and related trends, implications for associations, and ideas for action steps. Armed with these analyses, you’ll be ready to start talking about—and planning for—the changes ahead with your peers, your staff, and your board.
