One serendipitous night in December 2021, Liz's after-work conversation with her nonprofit, finance-related coworkers led to a discovery:

Why This Matters Now
Membership organizations across every sector are struggling with retention and growth. This framework works because it distributes accountability across the entire organization instead of concentrating it in a marketing budget.
