SPECIAL PRE-LUNCHEON EVENT - "REBOOTING YOUR ASSOCIATION FOR SUCCESS"

PLEASE NOTE: If interested in attending, please request to be registered for this special event when you register for the luncheon. SPACE IS LIMITED - All those who request to register for the event will receive an email from FAR staff either confirming your registration or with an update that the event is full.

At the 24/7/365 pace of life today do you feel your organizational institution is spinning out of control? Do you ever wish rebooting your organization was as simple as hitting CTRL+Alt+Delete? In this session you learn simple strategies to build the future of your organization.

Attendees will learn:

  • CTRL: What are the written and unwritten rules that hold your organization back? Take away tips to learn how to set boundaries with your board and membership to improve the efficiency of your projects and outcomes.
  • ALT: Look for alternate solutions to common problems such as lack of leadership, funding, and resources. Participate in a co-creation visioning exercise. Explore creative solutions that will encourage your board to look at innovating.
  • Believe: It is done unto your organization, as you believe. So, what is it you believe? Now is the time to delete all you believed about how your organization works and create a new future. Take a moment to burn up old patterns and beliefs. As the leader, your energy is the centering force for the beliefs of your board, members and staff.

If you are overwhelmed as a staff or volunteer leader, join us to gain simple strategies that will reboot and redirect your organization to not only meet but also exceed its vision and mission now. You will walk away with tips to see, feel, and know your organization in a new way.
