ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013

Connector What does it mean to be a Connector?

ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013 ConnectionConnectors How does Connection and Connectors help your regional group, society, or board?

ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013 The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Difference connectors connectors connectors In Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Difference. He realized that he needed someone to help him figure out his next steps. Gladwell describes connectors as those people who know many worlds and can link people to networks they did not know existed. According to Gladwell there are two kinds of connectors –those who are part of your social circle and those whom you have “weak ties.” Both kinds of connectors can expand one’s social horizon.

ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013

Connectors Connectors are social glue – they spread it.

ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013 Connectors: Connectors: “These people who link us up with the world, who bridge Omaha and Sharon, who introduce us to our social circles – these people on whom we rely on more heavily than we realize – are Connectors, people with a very special gift of bringing people together.”

ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013 So what does this have to do with YOU? What does this have to do with the AAA? Everything.EVERYTHING.

ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013 We need more Connectors in our regional groups, societies, and boards.

ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013 Where to start? Strategic Plan

ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013 How do you recognize these types in the real world? Connectors Connectors are fantastic at expanding your network. They will say things like: “Oh you should talk to …” “Have you heard about…” “Let me introduce you to..” They think in nodes, not individuals, and like nothing more than to help you. They see people first, then money.

ARKANSAS ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONSeptember 13, 2013 So here is your task: Identify yourself. Identify yourself. Are you a Connector? Evaluate your current volunteer model through this lens.
