• The 2022 Symposium for Chief Staff and Chief Elected Officers – Feb 24-25

    Reimagined for virtual delivery, this highly anticipated 2-day symposium helps CEOs and their newly appointed board leadership lay practical foundations to build a strong working relationship and lead their organizations forward. Facilitated by Glenn Tecker and Donna Dunn, CAE, board officers and chief executives will roll up their sleeves to build a common understanding and commitment to the key components of successful governance, strategy and organization.  Chief staff and chief elected officers will work together to:

    • Define annual priorities
    • Learn how to work better together
    • Discover the value of informed policy and strategy as primary tools of leadership


    Who Should Attend?

    The CEO Symposium is designed specifically for leadership teams from trade, professional, credentialing, and philanthropic associations, including the following:

    • CEOs/executive directors
    • Current or incoming board chairs and presidents
    • Board executive committees and officers

    IMPORTANT: This workshop is specifically designed to work in partnership with your chief staff and/or chief elected officers. Attending this event alone is NOT recommended.


    Past participants have said:
    “This is an important annual event for our leadership; it is time and money very well invested.” 

    “The  CEO Symposium is a must-attend event to turbocharge your relationship with your volunteer leaders!”

    “The symposium has changed the way I think about association governance, and how a healthy relationship between the senior elected officer and its CEO can drive organizational performance.”
    Many association leaders make this an annual commitment – join us and find out why for yourself.
