Hi Jeanette

Most executive heads we talked to about their working relationship with the Society/Association's Chair / President said that they and the organisation would gain from improving it, as well as by changing their decision-making processes and working style. Most of them said that it took over 8 months to establish an effective working relationship.

The Association Leaders Symposium (23 & 24 January 2023) specifically addresses these problems, and will make your working life much easier and your association more effective.  

Key aspects of the event:

• Executive Heads (EH) and the Chairs / Presidents attend together
• In every section of the symposium each association has its own breakout and the EH and Chair / President will work together on issues
• Once again the Symposium will be online, which works exceptionally well for Presidents / Chairs whose time is very limited
• New for 2023: On the morning of the second day there is the Mega-Issues session where delegates address the most pressing leadership challenges
• Exceptional value at only GBP 370 per person, up to 30 November
• A great investment in you and your President / Chair

Over the two days you both will:

• Build a shared understanding and commitment
• Establish working styles and leadership strengths of each other
• Define clearly the roles, responsibilities, and relationships
• Evaluate the critical components of successful leadership, governance, and strategy
• Identify essential questions to ask about your association's digital transformation model
• Outline governance relationships between the association board and staff members
• Identify current and anticipated trends facing you as leaders of a contemporary association
• Determine the value of research in knowledge-based decision making
• Apply successful practices and models to strategic planning and thinking

AAE is partnering with Tecker International again on this Symposium, which is similar to ones they have been running in other regions both onsite and online for 20 years.
