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. This session will focus both on the employment contract itself – key terms and provisions, options, and considerations – and on the hiring process, with an eye toward helping CEOs and aspiring CEOs understand how to most successfully navigate these complex, nuanced issues for their maximum advantage and benefit.
Associations need visionaries to provide breakthrough ideas for their members. But too often, when such employees are found and hired, their tenure is much shorter than anticipated! (And maybe it's happened to you!) Bill Jerome and Curt Powell, authors of "The Disposable Visionary: a survival guide for change agents," have spent over 10 years studying the paradox of why organizations say they want to change agents and then terminate them when they persistently challenge the status quo. They will share their findings and the keys to successfully fighting internal politics and creating an association that empowers and supports new ideas and innovation.
The COVID-19 pandemic affects many facets of associations, particularly in-person meetings and conferences. In this session, Jeffery Tenenbaum, Esq., will cover many of the legal implications involved with this current situation.
In the third decade of the 21st century, association boards will have no choice but to confront serious challenges — including AI/automation, the climate crisis and economic inequality — that will have a profound impact on their stakeholders’ well-being. These unforgiving conditions make it crucial for boards to perform different work in a different way and at the highest possible level. In this webinar, participants will learn why the duty of foresight lives at the center of a more generative integration of stewardship, governing and foresight, and how it can inspire boards to focus their attention on understanding, anticipating and preparing their organizations, stakeholders and fields for a full range of plausible futures.
