Todd Hager to present on Panel at Columbia Books Conference, “Beating the Recession: The Non-profit Executive Tool Kit”

Cost-saving Methods Available for Associations to Ride out the Recession

Bethesda, Md. (March 27, 2009) – In the midst of a recession cutting deep into everyone's budgets, associations have been suffering from the same economic symptoms as their corporate peers. Members are holding back money for dues, cutting into association revenues; meetings are being canceled as potential attendees worry about the cost of travel. Some associations are even cutting jobs.

Especially in this economic environment, associations can avoid busting their budgets in the short and long term using many different tools, including: engaging in talks with their banks, using technology to increase efficiency and implementing solutions such as mergers and outsourcing.

Associationexecs.com is hosting an all-day conference specifically designed for senior association executives to learn just those skills. BroadPoint is attending the Beating the Recession: The Non-profit Executive Tool Kit will be held May 28 at the Fulbright Center in Washington, D.C. This conference includes five practical sessions that will cover cost-saving methods in areas ranging from banking and financial management to technology and overhead management. Break-out sessions on association back office management and primary cost centers will focus on more specific cost controls such as overnight shipping, payroll, printing, and meeting costs.

Todd Hager, Vice President of BroadPoint Technologies will be on hand to present a panel on tools and technology that can aid a Non-profit during the recession.

Beating the Recession: The Non-profit Executive Tool Kit sponsors include RAFFA, Expense Reduction Analysts and the Alliance for Nonprofit Management. Early bird registration is available for $497 until May 1, $597 after May 1.

A full agenda of the event is available at http://www.nptools2009.com/agenda.html.
