"Your stakeholders are still crying out for authentic voices and authentic brands." This is what Rhyan Smith, J.D., CEO of Brilliance HQ told us at last week's 👓 Nonprofit Marketing Mastery Power Session. "With cancel culture we're seeing a lot of people be very quick to disengage and to call out companies who are not really walking in that authentic truth of their brand. At the same time, we're starting to see organizations shy away from authenticity. There's a huge disconnect between what people want and what companies and organizations are doing, and you'll start to see it in your engagement and your community development..." 👀 WATCH THE FULL VIDEO HERE: https://lnkd.in/eufFBSMu

🍂✨ Yesterday's BIA Sales & Marketing Council planning session was nothing short of inspiring – and deliciously heartwarming! In the spirit of 'Friendsgiving,' we gathered not just as colleagues but as a community, sharing more than just strategic plans for the future. My husband contributed his now-famous rosemary garlic sourdough alongside a festive pumpkin spice sourdough, each loaf infused with love and a sprinkle of holiday cheer. As we broke bread, the room filled with an array of fabulous dishes, each accompanied by a story, a tradition, or a memory that made them special. It was a feast for the soul as much as for the palate. But it wasn't just about the food. Our session was a testament to the power of collaboration and the shared passion we have for the BIA's mission. We rolled up our sleeves and laid down the groundwork for what promises to be an incredible year ahead. We're talking about a calendar brimming with engaging events, strategies for dynamic membership growth, and boundless opportunities for networking. Most importantly, we're united in our commitment to support the BIA's vital mission: to get more homes built in San Diego. We understand the importance of community, of having a place to call home, and we're dedicated to making that a reality for more people. As we look to the future, we're filled with gratitude and excitement. We're ready to tackle challenges, celebrate successes, and work hand-in-hand with all of you. Here's to a year of making a difference, building connections, and creating homes where stories can unfold. If you're as passionate about building communities as we are, or simply curious about the work we do at the BIA and the Sales & Marketing Council, please feel free to reach out. I would love to share more about our mission and how you can get involved in shaping the future of San Diego's homes and communities. Let's build a future together, one home at a time. 🏡🌟 #BIASalesAndMarketing #Friendsgiving #CommunityBuilding #SanDiegoHomes #Networking #Growth #Teamwork #PlanningForSuccess

NEW #TuesdayTips! It's award season with #VolunteerAppreciation events in April, or any time of year. If only a few volunteers are doing outstanding work (that is consistently recognized), why is that? Are there engagement issues, bias, or favoritism at play like a "Mean Girls" high school clique? How can everyone be awarded for their work so volunteers don't lose motivation, engagement, and connection (see my "3C’s of Happy Volunteers: Comfort, Convenience, Connection")? Don’t assume that everyone wants to be appreciated, celebrated, or recognized in the same way. Not everyone wants a party or prizes. Just asking one question before planning a Volunteer Appreciation event can make a big impact; how all volunteers like to be recognized, appreciated, valued in their own terms? You'll probably get some surprising answers. Sound off in the comments on your party plans for celebrating volunteers!
