Partner Webinar: Navigating Board Member Experience as Associations Go Hybrid
August 24, 2023 – 2:00 pm ET
Free Webinar
Association boards have faced lots of logistical turmoil since 2020. Going from traditional in-person meetings to shifting to virtual during the pandemic was a huge adjustment and required the adoption of new technology and strategies to conduct board meetings and fulfill board duties. Now, many associations are transitioning back to in-person meetings and/or exploring hybrid options, which presents another substantial shift in how board meetings are held, and the ways governance processes are carried out.
How can association boards navigate a hybrid environment in a way that preserves the effectiveness of their board and ensures that the process is smooth and equitable for each director? Join OnBoard and CSAE for a panel discussion that covers how association boards can achieve success and director satisfaction in the hybrid meeting era.
In this session, they explore:
- The challenges association boards face when transitioning from a virtual world to a hybrid setting.
- How shifting from in-person to virtual to hybrid meetings have impacted directors’ experience on association boards.
- How to leverage board management software to find success in the hybrid environment.
