Association Transformation
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 Great Committee Cull
Ever wondered what happens when 400+ volunteers spread across 44 committees becomes an organizational nightmare? Our latest Association Transformation episode features Angela Davis, CEO of the Society for Pediatric Radiology, who tackled this exact challenge head-on.
Join hosts Elisa Pratt and Andrew Chamberlain as they dive into Angela's strategic approach to governance transformation—and why medical associations present unique challenges when it comes to committee restructuring.
In this candid conversation, you'll discover: ✅ How to build the business case for committee consolidation ✅ The art of managing expectations during governance changes ✅ Why "being on a committee doesn't mean you're engaged" ✅ Strategic approaches to combining committees without losing volunteers ✅ The power of transparency and phased implementation
This isn't just about cutting committees—it's about creating more meaningful volunteer experiences and operational efficiency. A must-listen for any association leader drowning in governance complexity.
