We need check and balances from the Board of Directors. There must be people around leaders who will tell them the truth and hold them accountable. This is a time when the Board of Directors can step up and take positive leadership. More than anyone else, Board members need to be in conversation with the Executive Director about what is going to happen next. In an ideal situation, the Executive Director will have the insight to know when it is time to pass the torch. But if there’s confusion, the Board should lead - and be as directive as needed. An Executive Director may need to be coached by Board Members (most likely the Board President) to step down. These are challenging conversations that should be put in the context of what is best for the organization as a whole.

Why Members Of Other Associations Need Our Remarkable Team… The #association space is crowded. There are many associations a business leader can choose from when they are looking for ways to enhance the performance of their business. When you look closely, however, each association tends to have a different focus. For example some associations place a priority on business #advocacy. Others focus on member networking events. And many put community engagement on the top of their list. This mosaic of attention creates opportunities for associations to partner with one another for the benefit of their individual members. Recently Board members Ian Tait and Roy Osing of The Business Association Inspired In North Delta, Canada participated in a meeting with Ladner Business Association members. Their pitch: Ladner Members should also join The Business Association Team and get tools and services they don’t get with their current membership. It’s all about serving the needs of members, and if you must suggest to your members that they should join another association because it will benefit their business, then DO IT!
