Message from the Board
We had all hoped that the pandemic would be easing up by now. However, so far it looks like we will all be called upon to continue running in overdrive as the creative, flexible, and resourceful association executives that we have all proven to be since March 2020. Being in overdrive is pure stress and everyone reading this knows what I mean.

Q. Our association leadership has committed to develop new DEI strategies for 2022 and has put a new task group into place. I’m now being asked to provide strategic counsel on what they realistically should be accomplishing in their first year. I’m just not sure, as their executive director, I have the knowledge on how to direct them and we don’t have a big budget for me to begin recommending consultants. Next steps?
A. What does “committed” really mean with leadership, and does it mean something different for DE&I than it does for other strategies they set for next year? Wanting to focus on it, or deeply feeling supportive isn’t the same as making a commitment. If they committed to a digital transformation strategy (with new website, app, AMS integrations, etc.) they’d allocate time and money to advance the related tactics. They would not expect member volunteers to have the knowledge or resources to do these things for the org or industry. DE&I strategy is like any other in this way and focusing only on feelings and conversation will not result in outcomes (and can actually backfire on the org or cause harm to communities who are already navigating exclusion/discrimination).
