 9:30-11:30 AM -Change Management: Creating Stability in Unstable Times (2.00)

When stability is elusive and disruption is the norm, how do association leaders effectively reset, function, and even thrive?

This session will delve into the critical challenge of navigating continuous change. This session will move beyond traditional approaches to explore how organizations can establish essential platforms of stability even in the most turbulent environments.

We will specifically focus on three interconnected pillars:

• Culture: How to cultivate an organizational culture that embraces adaptability, resilience, and a shared sense of purpose amidst uncertainty.
• Community: Strategies for strengthening internal and external communities to provide support, foster collaboration, and maintain engagement when external conditions are volatile.
• Communications: Developing communication frameworks that build trust, provide clarity, and reduce anxiety during periods of rapid transformation.
