Association Academy by Ricochet Reviews 

This was a great experience. I learned a lot. The speakers were knowledgeable and fair in their critiques. The challenge is working with creatives from associations with varying resources and staff but I think you did a great job representing everyone. I think an effort was made to meet all the associations where there were and provide attainable feedback.

Great course with lots of practical advice and strong participant interaction.

I enjoyed the topic coverage for media marketing. Guest speakers brought forward informative and helpful information about how to make landing pages and emails get more clicks and views. I appreciate all the great examples as I am a very visual hands-on learner.

Terrific speakers and on target topics. Kept the group engaged and information is relevant. Enjoyed all 10 weeks

The sessions were filled with a wealth of knowledge. 1 hour of information felt like 3 month worth of data. Loved it!

I have taken two courses from Association Academy, both with Chris leading the discussions and Laura running things in the background (Digital Marketing & Membership Growth). They always provide a solid experience and the content is extremely helpful if you work in the association world. My only critique is that the membership growth course is a bit more heavily focused on professional societies than trade associations, but the concepts remain relevant nonetheless, and Chris adds his own situational knowledge to enhance the learning experience. Highly recommend!

Outstanding content, support and enthusiastic presentation by Chris. I walk away with several new ideas to incorporate into our membership program.

This course, just one hour for 10 consecutive weeks, was a great introduction to Association Member Management and Growth. I was reminded of things I knew but didn't have "top of mind" any more, and I learned new things about areas I haven't fully explored yet. The content helped me to get a "big picture" of my goals for membership work and also provided ideas for "quick wins" that I can tackle right away.

This class was excellent. I am new in my roll with non-profit organization. This gave me a better understanding on my roll at work and some of the changes I can apply to keep our members coming back and continue support. The instructor always up beat which is helpful since the class is after lunch. The quiz in the middle of the lecture were great and they gave me a better understanding on what I was learning.

Chris is an awesome presenter. He knows associations and their quirks and how to improvise.

The course was just the beginning and a great class, looking forward to the Association Membership class.

Great intro to Digital Marketing Strategies. For the more seasoned professionals, this is still a great way to revise and update on current trends. Fully enjoyed the experience and recommend it.

One of the best webinar series I have attended. The content was focused and the sessions were interactive. I appreciated the live, online format and learned so many good practices that I was able to implement at my own site immediately!

Excellent general course! This class gives you all the basics you need to understand key issues producing association digital creatives including banner ads and landing pages.

Chris and his team are great at capturing and keeping my attention. His diverse expertise in marketing and membership is evident through his course materials and curated guest speakers.

I really appreciated the reviews of creative during our sessions. I think it would be helpful to have a guideline/overview of what you're looking for (a series of check boxes so to speak). I couldn't join the last session (Zoom link wasn't working?). I felt that there was opportunity for each quarter of the session to target different skill levels. Some of the material felt very introductory and some felt a little more advanced, but it primarily stuck to the basics.

The main presenter and the selected speakers made the course great for me and the selection of topics blew my mind because my association is dealing with those areas at the present time. I love the ability to submit your work and have it critiqued by top professionals as well as classmates. That did not occur in the 10 week course. I also liked that this course was shorter yet still impactful. The 10 week course was challenging for me even though I made it through and earned my certificate. Thank you for the invite so very much appreciated and valued.

Great information and feedback. Stayed on track and on schedule.

This course is one of the best I have attended in a while. Loved the attendee participation and the speakers were excellent. Great content shared and it was easy to follow the entire presentation.

Hoping more are offered that are just as informative.

Validated concerns about the directions that are being taken at my association. The collateral in the class will assist me in suggesting new course of action to provide better engagement for our members and ROI.
