During our meeting we will discuss 3 ASAE Drivers of Change-
New Forms of Work
Freelance, gig, contract, and temporary work and the infrastructure to support them (e.g. online platforms and reputation systems) are growing. The number of independent professionals is expanding, and networked organizations rely on them. Associations will have new opportunities to serve these workers and advocate for their interests
Virtualized Meetings
Ubiquitous broadband, the mainstreaming of virtual reality, and robotics are accelerating the capabilities of telepresence technologies. These technologies could enable the telepresence of both speakers and participants at meetings. Or meetings could take place entirely in a shared digital reality. While these technologies can broaden participation and generate novel experiences, the social and experiential benefits of "real life" may prove challenging to replicate.
Work RedefinedA variety of driving forces are redefining the boundaries and nature of work and jobs in fundamental ways. New employment and workplace systems, educational systems, and social safety net systems will need to rise to meet emerging needs.
We will also provide feedback to ASAE staff on some specific current work of the association.
