Still Time to Register for the October Luncheon & Fall Seminar
Build a Rock Solid CEO/Board Partnership
October 23rd
President Abraham Lincoln DoubleTree
Luncheon 11:30 am – 1:30 pm; Fall Seminar 2 - 4 pm
Sponsored by: DuPage Convention & Visitors Bureau
Based on Chapter 5 of Mr. Westman's book Board & CEO Roles For Achieving Association Goals - Nurture the CEO/Board Working Relationship.
Associations are unique in terms of the continual turnover of board officers and other board directors, and how involved many board members are in the nuts n bolts of running an association. These realities make it imperative for CEOs and other senior executives to develop strong partnerships with board members individually and collectively.
This presentation will identify best practices for building such partnerships, starting well before volunteers ascend into top board leadership positions.

Association Success
When our books revealed that we were going into the first year of a balanced budget in about 5 years it presented both a shock and an opportunity: a chance to change the way the association sees and works with the sector. It opened the door for fresh eyes and a new perspective to come in and help strengthen many areas of the organization. So here is what I did to help double our income within 2.5 years, and to set us up to double it again in the next two.

Harvard Business Review
For the first time in eight years, the percent of women on U.S. corporate boards declined last year. Despite more evidence about the benefits of the increasing the number women on boards (such as better decision making), and mounting pressure from groups like State Street Global Advisers and Blackrock to do so, the data suggest it will take until the end of 2055 to have board parity in the U.S. if we continue at the current rate. This is where CEOs can help. Board appointments are highly influenced by CEOs, and they can do a better job of advocating for getting more women on the board. Fortunately, some are leading the way.
