Hi Jeanette

I and my team are now back after our summer break with some exciting work, including on the Association Leaders Symposium.  I wanted you to see the agenda which we publish today, so you can get a real understanding of how useful it could be. Please take a look at the agenda page here. 

You may have missed my previous email announcing the Symposium, and the reasons for holding it: Many Executive Heads advise us that working with the Chair / President can be challenging and it takes too long before it becomes a productive working relationship.  The Symposium, addresses this very critical issue, providing the Director General / Executive Director / CEO and the Chair / President of the association an opportunity to define annual priorities and to work better together.

The Symposium is online over two days on Monday 6 and Tuesday 7 December and you can find all the details on the event website here. 

We are really excited to be holding this event for the association community, together with our partners, Tecker International, who have developed this event from one delivered in the USA and Canada for over 20 years, including seven times online during the pandemic.

Here is a testimonial from a previous European delegate that gives you a feel for how well it is appreciated:
"I warmly recommend the association leaders symposium. I have attended a similar event, presented & facilitated by the same partners, and I can attest to the value of putting spotlight on strategy and moving your association forward while being in the 'same room' as your President. It gives you both a common language and a common understanding of many of the issues we all face as association leaders."
Paul Mollerup, Managing Director, Association of Danish Law Firms 

Unlike any other leadership event, the Symposium is designed specially for you and your Board Chair / President, and so there is a single fee for both of you. View the booking details and what is included online here.

Please email me or Cecilia Spoor (cecilia.spoor@associationexecutives.org), who is leading on this event, if you would like to chat about it, or require more information. 

Best regards

Damian
