Über diesen Titel

Welcome to Association Transformation, a transatlantic conversation advancing the impact and evolution of non-profit organizations. We're always seeking diversity of thought and new examples of innovation in action. That and a commitment to mission driven organizations spurred this collaboration between the teams at Brewer Pratt Solutions and Elevated. Together with our special guests, each episode we take a deep dive into the issues, topics, challenges and opportunities facing the association community. Between us we’ve been there, done it, got the t-shirt: membership, mergers, boards and leadership, advocacy, and education - nothing is off limits. Any subject that effects non-profits, their survival or their success is up for discussion.

  • 🎙️ The Upside Down of Dues: Pricing vs. Perception
    Feb 22 2026

    Membership dues feel maxed out. But the financial pressure on associations keeps rising.

    In the latest episode of Association Transformation, co-hosts Elisa Pratt and Andrew Chamberlain sit down with Dr. Michael Carr-Tatonetti, CPP, CAE, Certified Pricing Professional and CEO of Pricing for Associations, to unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface.

    This conversation explores:
    ▪️ Why dues increases are hitting resistance
    ▪️ How perception — not math — drives pricing success
    ▪️ When CPI helps (and when it hurts)
    ▪️ Why pricing needs to be treated as a governance discipline, not a reaction

    🎧 Listen now, then weigh in:


    Where is the biggest gap between price and perceived value in your organization?

  • Is the juice worth the squeeze? 🍊

    In the latest episode of the Association Transformation Podcast, Elisa Pratt of Brewer Pratt Solutions and Andrew Chamberlain of Elevated tackle a tough question for association and nonprofit leaders:

    👉 Are foundations advancing mission and impact, or quietly draining time, money, and focus?

    They dig into why foundations get created, why they’re so hard to unwind, and how leaders can honestly assess whether a foundation is truly adding value—or becoming a distraction.

    This episode isn’t about easy answers. It’s a call to the sector.

    💬 Have you seen a foundation work really well?
    💬 Have you inherited one that wasn’t worth the squeeze?
    💬 What lessons (good or painful) would you share?

    🎧 Listen in, then chime in with your own stories.

  • Fighting for Members but Undervaluing Association Staff
    Jan 25 2026

    Send us a text

    What happens when associations aggressively advocate for their members, while quietly shortchanging the professionals who make that advocacy possible?

    In Episode 167, Elisa Pratt and Andrew Chamberlain unpack a timely and uncomfortable case from the UK that exposes a deeper, sector-wide challenge: how perceived value, power, and authority shape decisions about association staff compensation, governance, and respect. Using the current British Medical Association staff dispute as a lens, this conversation goes far beyond one organization, exploring reserves, volunteer decision-making, executive authority, cultural hierarchy, and the real consequences of undervaluing professional expertise.

    This episode is a must-listen for CEOs, board chairs, finance committee members, and volunteer leaders who care about credibility, sustainability, and the future of association leadership.

    Because advocacy starts at home, and how we treat our staff says everything about the values we claim to represent.
