In 2005, the Five Independent Thinkers (all consultants in the association community) got together with the intention of writing a book about change for associations. Less than a year later they had their paperback book in print. They wrote the book collaboratively and transparently on a blog (www.alwaysdoneitthatway.com), and they continue writing there today. Here is what the community has had to say about the book: "As a long-time member of the association community, I'm delighted that The Five Independent Thinkers are offering new insights to challenge our most basic assumptions about the work we do. If you're an association leader looking for ways to keep your association front and center with members, you should read this book!" Nancy Green, CAE Executive Director, National Association for Gifted Children ASAE & The Center Fellow "The Five Independent Thinkers take on the association world, and turn it upside down. And then shake it! On every page there's something to provoke, something to ponder, and something to disagree with. Which makes it a must-read for every association executive who wants to succeed in today's world." Kevin Holland Division VP for Business Operations and Membership, Air Conditioning Contractors of America You can read a review of the book here.
