The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has recently passed two rulings that impact the association space: Business Impersonation / Fraud and Banning Non-Compete Agreements.

Business Impersonation / Fraud
The FTC Rule on Impersonation to combat scams was passed earlier this spring and went into effect April 1. Impersonation includes scammers selling fake membership lists or hotel room blocks. The FTC also shared new data on the most common ways consumers are targeted by these treacherous scams. Combined, reported losses to these impersonation scams topped $1.1 billion for the year, more than three times what consumers reported in 2020. Additionally, the ruling includes a method to report fraud, scams and bad business acts: ReportFraud.ftc.gov

2021 Think Tank White Paper
Culture of Engagement: How to Build Engaged, Passionate Members

In May 2021, eighteen FSAE members gathered at the Opal Grand Beach Resort & Spa in Delray Beach for the first in-person meeting most members had attended in over a year. The two-day event's focus was a deep-dive in member engagement led by facilitator Joshua Evans. Think Tank is an interactive meeting of a small group of association professionals that contemplate a single topic regarding the association management profession. Findings from the event are shared with the community in a White Paper. We are pleased to share the 2021 White Paper with you.
