A colleague recently confided in me that although her association is facing serious challenges, the board isn’t interested in learning how to govern more effectively. Her attempts to educate them are always met with resistance. You can guess where this group is headed.

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel – COVID-19 vaccinations are ramping up and the pandemic may be over in the foreseeable future. But the question remains, how will COVID-19 change the workplace for the long haul?

While students have often attended in-person association meetings to build their networks and find job leads, the pandemic uprooted those face-to-face opportunities. But associations are still finding ways to provide mentoring and career advice to college students and early-career professionals virtually.

Leadership Spotlight
By Kathleen O'Regan
During a recent LSAE Peer-to-Peer Workshop, we discussed the popular topic of board relations. Typically, your board of directors is composed of a representation of your membership, and each board member has their own personality, agenda, and way of communicating, which always keep us on our toes. Depending on the organization, board members can change annually, biannually or never. One thing is for sure: We all have our own challenges with our board of directors. Here are five great take away ideas from our discussion we hope can help you as you interact with your board of directors.
