How do CEOs and executive leaders of associations with high-performing boards identify the issues that merit the board's attention and those that don't? AMC Principal Mark Engle explores the answer to that question in a recent article in Forum Magazine. In his article titled ‘Issue Filtering: Identifying Issues that Merit Board Attention,’ he outlines the 7 criteria CEOs use to filter issues and determine those that should go before the board.

It’s been an impactful DEIB Week as we learned more about the unique strengths, perspectives, and experiences we all bring and how that not only makes our team culture richer but also enriches the service we provide to our associations partners. After sharing stories of Pride and the successes and struggles association experience with DEIB initiatives, along with learning leadership lessons from award-winning women leaders and the professional journey of our keynote Jason Benetti, we wrapped up the week with a guided meditation and reflection session. DEIB Week wouldn’t have been possible without the many AMCers who planned events, led sessions, or shared their insights. Many thanks to Zinat Ali, Katherine Ast, Steve Smith, CAE, Jerrod Liveoak, Lauren Winters, Summar Jonas, SPHR, Gina Parisi, MSW, Wendy T., Yumeka Brown, CAE, Emily Muse, CAE, Katherine Wayne, Laura Witt, MS-HSM, Susan Vogel, Cassie McGarigle, Julie Bruno, Julie (Todd) Rogers, Debbie Trueblood, MSW, FASAE, IOM, CAE, Linda Sterling, and Sable Woods. #DEI #equityandinclusion #staffevents #connection #community #associationmanagement

Our #Juneteenth celebration continued in our office today with a BBQ and trivia event. With BBQ from Soul & Smoke in Evanston, and appetizers and desserts made by staff, we sampled our way through a host of foods that traditionally symbolize unity and resilience. We also learned more about the significance of the holiday with a Juneteenth trivia game. The opportunity to celebrate Freedom Day together made for a great day in the office. Many thanks to the BIPOC ERG, especially Sable Woods, Elizabeth W. and Linda Sterling for planning and hosting this event! #community #connection #celebration #staffevents #DEI #freedomday #associations
