Is your association limping along with an outdated or unworkable governance model? Maybe it’s time to look at something new. There’s still time to register for the August 1 CSAE Luncheon featuring Jeff Arnold, MAM, CAE, President of Leading Associations, who will present rEvolutionary Governance™, a newer, practical model to establish your ideal governance system based on your board's current stage of development on a 6-stage continuum. This model applies equally to small associations with no staff and a handful of volunteers to associations with multi-million dollar budgets and thousands of volunteers.
