Human Connections, Smarter Tools: Video Innovation for Meeting Planners
Thursday, April 16 – 1:30–2:30 PM ET
Video isn’t just for marketing anymore—it’s become a powerful tool for leadership, governance, and fundraising. Join Terry Nawrot of Video Request and Meagan Roloff of the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) for an energizing conversation on how associations are using authentic, low-cost video to drive engagement, transparency, and measurable results.
You’ll get an inside look at how NAGC and other organizations are using video to:
- Support transparent and engaging leadership elections
- Elevate award recognition and celebrate member achievements
- Strengthen governance communication and board visibility
- Launch a one-month fundraising campaign that generated two-thirds of an annual goal
We’ll also explore how simple edits and clever repurposing can turn your existing footage into fresh storytelling assets—no production studio required. If you’re ready to deepen member connections and make technology work for you (not overwhelm you), this session will show you how smarter video strategies can amplify your mission and keep your meetings as human-centered as ever.
