Momentum is a crucial aspect of any organization's growth and impact. It is the driving force that propels us forward and allows us to make meaningful strides towards our objectives. Here are some strategies I believe can help us create and sustain momentum within the American Mindfulness Association:

  1. Clear Vision and Goals: It is essential to have a clear vision and well-defined goals that resonate with our members and stakeholders. By articulating a compelling vision for the future of mindfulness and setting achievable goals, we can inspire enthusiasm and commitment among our community.

The American Mindfulness Association advances the industry and professionalism of mindfulness as a business practice. As a community we see mindfulness as the overarching word for an ecosystem of tools that result in mindful leadership and living in the present moment. Our members are corporations, individuals and research institutions dedicated to teaching and applying the neuroscience-based and secular practice of mindfulness.  We offer networking, and community connection, education, and ethical standards to advance use of mindfulness around the world.

  1. Effective Communication: Communication plays a pivotal role in building momentum. We need to communicate our mission, initiatives, and progress consistently and effectively through various channels such as newsletters, social media, and events. Transparent communication fosters trust and keeps our members informed and engaged.  Did you get our March newsletter?  Sign up to get our newsletter here! 

  2. Collaboration and Partnerships: Collaboration amplifies our impact. By forging strategic partnerships with other organizations, academic institutions, and community groups, we can leverage resources, expertise, and networks to reach a broader audience and create synergies that drive momentum. We have sponsorships available form $500 - $5,000 if you know a company in the mindfulness industry let us know about them. 

  3. Empowering Leadership: Empowering leaders at all levels of the organization cultivates a sense of ownership and initiative. By fostering a culture of leadership development and providing opportunities for our members to contribute their ideas and talents, we can harness the collective energy and creativity needed to propel our association forward.

  4. Innovative Programs and Initiatives: Continuously innovating and adapting to the changing needs and preferences of our members is essential for sustaining momentum. We should explore new programmatic offerings, technology-driven solutions, and engagement strategies that resonate with diverse audiences and inspire participation.

Creating and maintaining momentum within the American Mindfulness Association requires a concerted effort to align our vision, engage our community, and adapt to changing dynamics. By embracing these strategies and working collaboratively towards our shared goals, I am confident that we can continue to expand our reach and impact in promoting mindfulness practices for the well-being of individuals and society.

Thank you for your dedication and support in advancing our mission. Together, let us harness the power of momentum to create positive change in the world.
