Association Stewardship in The Turbulent Twenties
As association boards and staff navigate the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic and the long-overdue fight against systemic racism, they also must confront the turbulence yet to come in this decade by asking a critical question: will we try to return to business-as-usual or will our reinvention begin right now? To be honest, there is only one viable answer. The complex problems we face demand that associations transform themselves into capable 21st-century institutions focused on creating a more equitable, ethical, humane, and just world for both stakeholders and successors. This high-impact session will explore how the focus on stewardship will enable associations to discover their deeper purpose in The Turbulent Twenties and build new momentum for creating a better future.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
- Understand how our current context is accelerating other forces of turbulence already shaping the 2020s.
- Explain the meaning and importance of stewardship, as well as why associations need more stewardship and less leadership.
- Initiate the process of reinventing their associations for the rest of this decade and beyond.
