This sure-to-be popular session brings together two leading professionals in the association community – one of the top association attorneys who does extensive work in connection with CEO employment contracts and one of the top executive recruiters who has led hundreds of association CEO searches – to discuss new trends and challenges in association executive employment agreements. Hiring a new CEO is one of the most significant undertakings in the life cycle of an association, with far-reaching consequences for both the organization and the CEO. There are numerous strategies and tactics that can be employed by both sides to create advantages for each other.
