The current job market is competitive. Although there are opportunities to leave your current role for another position, that’s not the decision we all want to make. Perhaps we’d like to stay where we are but with increased responsibilities and opportunities or potentially an increased salary or benefits. Approaching these conversations, however, can be awkward.
Where do you start? What do you say? Should you have a presentation as to why you deserve the promotion? These are all questions that we think of when approaching the promotion conversation. Our guest today, Chris Price, will be able to assist with these questions.

Chris Price is a partner at The Mattison Corporation, where his leadership and fun-loving attitude keep non-profit associations thriving. Describing each day as a new adventure, Chris takes pride in helping clients fulfill their missions. Under his leadership, non-profit clients have experienced substantial growth, as has The Mattison Corporation.

Before joining The Mattison Corporation, Chris worked in the construction and civil engineering fields. He currently serves as president of the Indiana Construction Roundtable and the Indiana Construction Roundtable Foundation. He is also currently involved with workforce development programs supporting the hospitality sector.

Outside of work and philanthropy, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife, Stefanie, and their three sons. When he can get a break, you can find him on the golf course.

You think of the work that you do for your association and members, and probably the most important are your co-workers.

Sustaining Meetings Today, Tomorrow, and Later | Julia Spangler (Episode 18)

We hear on the news how we should work to be sustainable and have a greener mindset in our everyday lives, and our own industry pushes us to plan our meetings from small to large associations with better sustainability practices. As association professionals, we strive to have this top of mind when putting together our annual meetings, workshops, and other gatherings, but at times can feel stuck and lost on where to start. Do we take away all printed materials, no longer have nametags, or rely on only our phones (while recognizing digital platforms still use electricity and balance access issues)? Our guest today, Julia Spangler, will be able to assist with these questions.

Julia is the founder of Ecosystem Events, a company that strives to reduce and divert waste from meetings and events. Julia helps organizations and event professionals reduce the environmental impact of their events in order to preserve our planet and deliver powerful sustainability results.
