There are easy to understand distinctions between board oversight and board supervision. Board agendas and materials can help a board focus on oversight.
Meaningful Financial Reports
Boards of directors can only fulfill their financial oversight responsibilities if they are provided with meaningful financial reports.
Who should appoint officers – the board or a vote of the membership?
Effective officer selection depends on the association’s work, the role of the board and officers, and the culture of work in which members are involved.
Member of Profession as CEO? Use Caution.
Although there are always exceptions, we advise caution when considering a member of the association as the CEO of the association.
What comes first? The order of research
We have observed that the order of research methodologies is a key decision in decision-focused research design.
Investing in Research
In general, the higher the stakes (financial and human resources, reputation, future health of the association), the more it is necessary to support those decisions with data.
