Leading In This Moment

Everywhere association leaders turn, they face complex issues rife with uncertainty and unclear paths forward. At the 2023 CEO & Senior Staff retreat, association leaders will lean into this dynamic, exploring how they, their boards, and teams can navigate these uncertain times and successfully lead in this moment. Together, participants will:

• Identify the unique leadership requirements of the moment and how even experienced leaders need to go into a learning mode
• Explore how insights, strategy, and governance form the critical core of organization agility and resilience
• Understand how risk isn't just something to mitigate, but how we can embrace it as a critical element of future success 

Reasons to Attend:

• Learning format offering space to reflect and learn on your own, in small groups, and as a community.
• Create connections and deepen existing relationships that build a trusting peer group, willing to engage in honest discussions and look to one another for effective practices and new ideas.
• Gain tools and plans to take the retreat experience back to your own organizations.
