With political tensions high, associations and nonprofits face tough choices about where and how they host events.
Enter SocialOffset, a groundbreaking initiative co-founded by Dr. Elena Gerstmann that empowers conference attendees to offset the economic impact of destination boycotts—without sacrificing meaningful participation.
In this episode of Association Chat, host KiKi L'Italien sits down with Dr. Gerstmann, Executive Director of INFORMS, to explore how SocialOffset is changing the conversation around ethical event planning. With a distinguished career in association management—spanning ASME, IEEE, and now INFORMS—Dr. Gerstmann brings unparalleled insight into the intersection of social responsibility, association leadership, and strategic decision-making.
